Overview
- The United States meets Belgium at Lumen Field with a 5 p.m. PT (8 p.m. ET) kickoff on Monday and live coverage on FOX and the FOX One streaming app.
- FIFA overturned Folarin Balogun’s red‑card suspension on Sunday, making him available for the match while reports say Belgium may be allowed to appeal that decision.
- Seattle’s transportation agency opened the Pioneer Square pedestrian zone earlier and scheduled targeted closures on Alaskan Way, the SR‑99 northbound exit to Dearborn Street, and Western Avenue to manage large fan marches.
- Official ticket inventory is largely sold out, leaving last‑minute buyers to verified resale channels and FIFA’s last‑minute portals where electronic transfers and high prices are now the norm.
- City officials urged fans to use transit, arrive early and have digital tickets ready, a response shaped by earlier massive turnouts and the need to scan mobile‑only FIFA tickets at stadium gates.
