Which stadium will host Norway vs England?

The venue is Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, officially designated as Miami Stadium throughout the tournament under FIFA’s strict naming rights policy. The facility has hosted five World Cup matches to date and will stage one more after this quarterfinal, when it hosts the third-place playoff.

Home of the Miami Dolphins and the Miami Hurricanes, the stadium can accommodate up to 65,326 fans, though the heat and humidity have been a persistent talking point throughout the tournament. Argentina’s narrow 3-2 extra-time win over Cape Verde there was a prime example, with the conditions visibly affecting the pace and rhythm of the game.
