FIFA World Cup 2026: SoFi Stadium Returns to Pre-Tournament State
SoFi Stadium, which was known as 'Los Angeles Stadium' during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has returned to its pre-tournament state after the tournament ended. According to the Sun newspaper, workers removed the covers from the 'SoFi' signs, revealing the stadium's original name.
Why it matters
SoFi Stadium was known as 'Los Angeles Stadium' during the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to FIFA's strict rules on commercial advertising. These rules prevented the use of commercial and advertising names of stadiums during the tournament. As a result, SoFi Stadium was introduced as 'Los Angeles Stadium'.
What comes next
SoFi Stadium will undergo renovation after returning to its pre-tournament state, making it ready to host the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers in the National Football League (NFL). It is also expected to return to its artificial turf, which is used for NFL games.
