Hundreds of tickets are still available for the U.S. and Canada opening matches for the World Cup on Friday. Even more are available in resale platforms — many at below face value.
Tickets for the opening match of the United States at the World Cup have still not sold out. The match will take place on Friday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Ca., which will be renamed Los Angeles Stadium for the tournament.
