Atlanta preps for World Cup & USMNT Powerhouse Friendlies
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup less than 100 days away, Mercedes-Benz Stadium has undergone a major transformation, swapping its artificial turf for a natural grass pitch. The move comes as Atlanta prepares to host the USMNT for high-stakes friendlies against Belgium and Portugal later this month. Meanwhile, Atlanta United looks to bounce back from a winless start to the season on the new surface.
