Nine World Cup matches will be played at Dallas Stadium this summer. Here are a few things you should know before you go.

Most importantly, get there early so you have time to go through security checks, ticket scanning and stadium entry.

WHAT TIME DOES THE STADIUM OPEN

Doors at Dallas Stadium will open three hours before kickoff, so fans have plenty of time to enter and get settled. General parking and preferred services parking will be available to fans one hour before gates open.

FAN ZONES

Starting early, fans can enjoy interactive experiences, great food, and a good time with friends and other supporters. These areas are located at the East Plaza and West Plaza.

BAGS OR PURSES

Your bag must be clear and cannot exceed the following dimensions: 30 × 30 × 15 cm (12 × 12 × 6 inches). If you bring a small clutch (it does not have to be clear), it cannot exceed: 11 × 16.5 cm (4.5 × 6.5 inches). All items will be checked at the entrance.

PROHIBITED ITEMS

For fan safety, FIFA and the stadium have a list of prohibited items, including but not limited to: weapons, explosives, detonators, work tools, helmets, lighters, matches, smoke bombs, aerosols, etc. The list is extensive; you can access it here in full under the Stadium Policy section.

CAN YOU BRING SIGNS AND FLAGS?

Flags, signs, and small posters made of flame-resistant material are allowed (maximum size: 2m x 1.5m / 78 x 60 inches). Larger flags, signs, or instruments must have prior approval. You can submit that request here.

NO RE-ENTRY

For your safety and the safety of other fans, the stadium has a strict no re-entry policy. Once you leave the stadium, you will not be allowed back in, so make sure you have everything you need before going through the gates.

FREE WIFI IN THE STADIUM

Fans can connect to the FWC26_FANS network and use the stadium internet during the match.

CAN YOU BRING WATER?

Reusable, empty water bottles are allowed in the stadium, but they must be clear and no more than one liter.

ARE STROLLERS ALLOWED?

Strollers and prams are not allowed inside Dallas Stadium. If it’s not possible to leave the stroller at home, storage is available at the restricted items storage area prior to entry, for a fee.

ANTI-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

FIFA prohibits anything that of a political, offensive, and/or discriminatory nature, containing wording, symbols, or any other attributes aimed at discrimination of any kind against a country, private person, or group on account of race, skin color, ethnicity, national or social origin, gender, disability, language, religion, political or any other opinion, birth, wealth or any other status, sexual orientation, or any other grounds.
