Group D - United States vs Paraguay Match Day Tickets
USA vs Paraguay: Match History
The United States and Paraguay share a football rivalry that stretches back nearly a century, marked by a legendary opening chapter and a series of competitive encounters since.
1930 World Cup
The two sides first met at the 1930 World Cup, where the USA secured a 3-0 victory with Bert Patenaude's historic hat-trick, the first ever recorded in World Cup competition.
Following that encounter, the two nations wouldn't face each other again for 67 years. Their next meeting took place in 1997, resulting in a scoreless draw. A year later, in March 1998, Chad Deering and Marcelo Balboa found the net in a 2-2 draw as both teams prepared for that summer's World Cup.
2000s
The early 2000s saw the United States assert dominance in the friendly series. In July 2003, Landon Donovan and Earnie Stewart each scored in a comfortable 2-0 victory.
2010s
Paraguay claimed a 1-0 victory in a friendly in 2011, but when the stakes were highest, the Americans delivered. At the 2016 Copa América held on home soil, Clint Dempsey's 27th-minute strike secured a crucial 1-0 group stage win for the United States.
The most recent chapter of that decade came in a 2018 friendly when Bobby Wood converted a penalty kick to deliver another 1-0 American victory.
November 2025
Giovanni Reyna scored on his return to the starting lineup, and Folarin Balogun added a second as the USMNT beat Paraguay 2-1 in Chester, Pennsylvania, in November 2025.
The sides are set to meet again on 12 June 2026 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood as part of FIFA World Cup Group D.
Resale Ticket Prices: USA vs Paraguay
USA vs Paraguay is the tournament opener for the host nation and the first World Cup match ever played at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, on June 12. Demand is expected to be high.
Resale listings start at around $700, with hospitality options available for a much higher price mark. All 2026 World Cup tickets are protected through our 100% money back guarantee policy.
Prices are unlikely to drop as June 12 approaches; this is the USMNT's home opener, and interest will only grow.
Travel Tips for Fans
Getting There
The I-405 near SoFi Stadium is among the worst traffic corridors in the US. Expect delays of two hours or more within three hours of kickoff, and official parking can cost $140–$250 for major events. Public transit is strongly recommended.
LA Metro's World Cup Service runs from multiple park-and-ride locations across the city. Reserve a parking spot in advance via SpotHero, and your round-trip shuttle ride to the stadium is included.
Walk-up riders pay just $1.75 each way. The Metro K Line (Crenshaw) and C Line (Green) both connect to the LAX/Metro Transit Center, where a free SoFi Stadium shuttle runs from three hours before kickoff.
Where to Stay
Fans who want to keep transfers simple should look at hotels in Inglewood, Westchester, and along Century Boulevard near LAX, all within a short rideshare or shuttle trip of the stadium.
For those wanting more of the LA experience, central neighbourhoods like downtown or Santa Monica work well for longer stays, offering easy access to the beach, nightlife, and the Metro network.
Arrive Early
A practical rule is to arrive two to three hours before kickoff, especially for United States games. Crowds, security checks, and local traffic can stack quickly, and a time buffer protects your experience.
World Cup transportation will arrive at the stadium starting up to three hours before matches and will depart up to two hours after the final whistle.
Heat Awareness
June in Los Angeles means warm weather. LA Metro has published a Heat Awareness Guidebook to help fans plan, find cooling and hydration resources, and stay safe during extreme heat throughout the World Cup. Bring water and pace yourself, especially if you're spending time in pre-match fan zones.
Fan Zones and Things to Do
The official FIFA Fan Festival is located at the Coliseum in Exposition Park and will feature free public viewing areas and performances on selected dates.
Inglewood itself has a rich cultural history, and new development around SoFi has added hotels, restaurants, entertainment complexes, and a lakefront promenade.
Stadium Entry & Security
When entering the stadium, fans must go through thorough bag checks, metal detectors, and ID verification. All 2026 World Cup tickets are digital and delivered through the FIFA app. Make sure your phone is charged before you leave your accommodation.
