World Cup knockout soccer is coming to Foxborough, with Germany set to face Paraguay in a FIFA World Cup Round of 32 match at "Boston Stadium" on Monday, June 29. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET, and while FIFA has slapped a tournament label on it, locals will recognize the venue as Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
The matchup was first reported by Boston 25 News, and it appears as Match 74 on the official schedule from FIFA. Bracket trackers, including Sky Sports, and ticket platforms are already listing Germany v Paraguay in that Round of 32 slot.
Where the game will be played
Gillette Stadium will host the match, operating under FIFA's temporary tournament naming as "Boston Stadium." The stadium's official site lays out match day guidance, including notes on special commuter rail service and event parking for World Cup fixtures. Fans are urged to check the venue's event pages for shuttle maps, entry rules and MBTA commuter rail options, according to Gillette Stadium.
Fan fest, transit and match day tips
The Boston Host Committee has lined up an official FIFA Fan Festival at City Hall Plaza during the group stage and has posted "know before you go" guidance for visitors. The committee has also announced express bus and shuttle plans to move fans between downtown Boston and the stadium on match days. Residents and visitors are being told to expect crowded trains and longer travel times, arrive early and follow the Host Committee's guidance, according to the Boston Host Committee.
Tickets and what to expect
Resale markets still show tickets for the Foxborough match, but at a premium. Ticket aggregators list many seats starting in the mid hundreds of euros and show the fixture as a 16:30 local kick off. If you are traveling from Boston, plan for extra drive time or use the MBTA or host shuttles, and be ready for long exit times after the final whistle. Fans can check current availability and travel tips on resale and travel guides such as SeatPick and The World Cup Guide before heading out.
