FIFA’s Strict Rules: Why SoFi Stadium and Other NFL Venues Are Renamed for the 2026 World Cup
During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, NFL stadiums hosting matches, including SoFi Stadium, are undergoing temporary name changes. SoFi Stadium is now known as Los Angeles Stadium due to FIFA’s strict sponsorship regulations, which mandate that only official World Cup partners receive branding exposure. This rule necessitates the removal or covering of all corporate logos and branded names at tournament venues.
