A different kind of football is set to be played this summer at the home of the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
Before the FIFA World Cup comes to Philadelphia in 2026 — bringing nations together for the biggest soccer tournament in the world — fans should be treated to a preview of what's to come with the FIFA Club World Cup scheduled this summer.
Before these players wear their country's colors, they're to don their club's first at Lincoln Financial Field.

Fans should have the opportunity to see renowned clubs from different leagues throughout the world, such as Chelsea FC, Real Madrid C.F., Manchester City FC, Juventus FC and more.
In addition to six exhibition matches, Lincoln Financial Field is also to play host to a match for the Round of 16 of the Group A winner and Group B runnerup, as well as a quarterfinal match.
Some notable players that fans could see on the pitch in Philadelphia are Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland and others.
Games are to start June 16 and be played every other day through the Round of 16 on June 28. The quarterfinal is to be played July 4.
Tickets are on sale and can be bought on a variety of ticketing websites.
