About Miami

Miami is the most Latin city in the United States, and it will feel like a World Cup party from the moment you arrive. Over 70% of the population speaks Spanish, making it incredibly welcoming for Latin American fans. South Beach, Wynwood's art scene, Little Havana, and the vibrant nightlife make Miami an unforgettable World Cup destination.

Hard Rock Stadium

Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens has been extensively renovated with a canopy roof for shade and wind protection. It hosts the Miami Dolphins, the Miami Open tennis, and Formula 1 Grand Prix.
