Скачать или смотреть Excitement builds for soccer fans in Rhode Island as 2026 World Cup bracket takes shape

Soccer fans eagerly watched Friday as the 2026 World Cup bracket started to take shape.

The Final Draw brought fans as well as Rhode Island state and city leaders to Centreville Bank Stadium for a watch party.

"I'm really excited about the World Cup coming to town," said Jerricka Hill, who told NBC 10 News that she applied to volunteer during the event. "I just want to be part of the excitement."

While groupings were announced Friday, fans will have to wait until Saturday to discover which teams will play at Gillette Stadium, which is being rebranded as "Boston Stadium," during the World Cup.

Teams in groups C, I, and L are more likely to play in Foxborough during the group stage. Those include Brazil, Morocco, Haiti, Scotland, France, Senegal, Norway, England, Croatia, Ghana and Panama.
