Summary
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. in Arlington, where Japan and the Netherlands open Dallas Stadium’s nine-match World Cup schedule in a Group F showdown.
Dallas Stadium is expected to draw a full house at its tournament capacity of just over 70,000 and will host more World Cup games than any U.S. venue, including a semifinal.
Parking lots opened at 11 a.m. and stadium gates at noon as organizers prepared for heavy crowds around the match and related fan activity across the Metroplex.
Fair Park’s FIFA Fan Fest and live local coverage of traffic, celebrations and match updates underline the broader regional buildup around Arlington’s first game of the tournament.
