The 2026 NFL regular season is still a few months away but some stadiums will be busy with the 2026 World Cup until then.
Bu ahead of the 2026 NFL regular season and the World Cup, a group of stadium workers at an NFL stadium have officially voted to go on strike.
More than 2,000 stadium workers at SoFi Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers, have voted to go on strike.
SoFi Stadium is set to host the 2027 Super Bowl in February, as well.
“The stoppage, authorized by 96% of voting members, could occur at any time, though union officials made it clear that the U.S. national team’s opening World Cup match against Paraguay on June 12 would be an opportune moment,” the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday.
“If workers walk off the job, soccer fans who paid thousands of dollars to attend the match might have a hard time getting refreshments. FIFA, soccer’s governing body, has recommended fans arrive three hours early for matches at the stadium, located just outside L.A., which suffers from difficult parking and chaotic road access.”
The 2026 World Cup is set to begin in the coming week.
