These were the first soccer matches to be played in SoFi Stadium, and we wanted to get a preview of what we might see come 2026, when it will be one of the host venues for the World Cup. The in-stadium atmosphere was phenomenal, and the grass pitch, which was made specifically for these games, looked pretty pristine from the press box.
