Lincoln Financial Field, renamed the Philadelphia Stadium during the 2026 World Cup, hosted six soccer matches this summer.

The first game held at the 67,594-seater kicked off on June 15 and saw the Ivory Coast beat Ecuador 1-0.

Most recently, the final match at the stadium was a lively affair between France and Paraguay, which the former won thanks to a Kylian Mbappe goal.

Now, with Philadelphia’s time as a World Cup host over, details of how much food and beer were sold during the clashes have been provided, with supporters who attended the games drinking in excess of 290,000 beers.

World Cup fans bought 55,000 hot dogs at Philadelphia Stadium

During the six ties, which featured the likes of France, Brazil and Croatia, it has been revealed that just shy of 410,000 fans attended the games, reaching a near 99.9% capacity.

According to NBC Philadelphia, beer was the most popular item sold, while hot dogs were the most purchased food item.

It is said that around 55,000 were bought by supporters who attended the World Cup games in Philadelphia.

After hot dogs, 46,000 soft pretzels, 37,000 crab fries and 26,500 cheesesteaks were consumed by soccer fans in the last few weeks.

Following the six games, FIFA World Cup 2026 host city director for Philadelphia, Rebecca Schuchart, released a statement praising Philly for embracing the World Cup.

She said: “It’s been a pleasure and an honor to see how Philly truly embraced the FIFA World Cup.

“With ordinary citizens welcoming the hundreds of thousands of fans from around the world and the Philadelphia Soccer 2026 team hosting one of the most attended FIFA Fan Festivals in the U.S., the passion here was made abundantly clear to the millions who tuned in across the globe.

“Our thanks to the Eagles for welcoming us into their home and the City of Philadelphia for supporting us every step of the way – the entire region was key in making this tournament a great success in Philly.”

Attention will now move away from Philly, with the remaining World Cup games in the USA taking place in Boston, Miami, LA, Kansas City, Dallas, Atlanta and New Jersey.
