USA vs Belgium venue

The match will be played at Seattle Stadium in Seattle, Washington.

The stadium is expected to host a loud crowd, with American supporters hoping to cheer their team into the quarterfinals. The atmosphere should be electric as both teams fight for a place among the final eight.

The United States has looked stronger with every game in the tournament. Mauricio Pochettino’s team has won three of its four matches and has scored at least two goals in every game. Christian Pulisic has led from the front, while Folarin Balogun’s return gives the attack another major boost.

Belgium has had a tougher journey. They drew against Egypt and Iran before producing a dramatic comeback to beat Senegal after extra time. Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Thibaut Courtois remain the team’s biggest strengths, but Belgium’s defence has looked vulnerable at times during the tournament.
