With thousands of Jewish fans traveling for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, staying kosher, observing Shabbat, and finding community has never been easier, thanks to dedicated Chabad initiatives and local kosher options.

Whether you're catching a game at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami or MetLife in New Jersey, here’s your practical guide to kosher food, davening spots, Shabbat tips, and real fan stories from the ground.

Highlight: Chabad Hot Dogs & Tefillin at Hard Rock Stadium (Miami)

Chabad at the Stadium is running a Wrap & Roll Kosher hot dog cart right in the fan zone at the south entrance near the fountains. Expect kosher hot dogs, cold drinks, Jewish pride, and a tefillin station.

They’re set up for key matches including:

  • June 21 & 24 games
  • July 3 Semi-Final (closing early for Shabbat)

Pro tip: Stop by before entering the stadium — it’s an independent activation outside official concessions.

NOTE! Always double-check closer to your match as FIFA controls concessions.

Shabbat Considerations & Travel Tips

  • Six Shabbatot fall during the tournament (June 11–July 19). Plan travel and tickets accordingly, many Chabad houses offer Shabbat meals and hospitality.
  • Israelis traveling: Contact local Chabad in advance for hosting, kosher takeout, or minyanim.
  • Groups of Israeli fans have already shared stories of warm welcomes in Miami and New Jersey.
  • Apps & Resources: Download Kosher Near Me, visit jewishworldcup.com for city directories, or check Chabad.org / yeahthatskosher.com.

Fan Story Spotlight: One Israeli family attending the USA opener in LA shared: “We davened with Chabad before the game, grabbed kosher food, and felt right at home thousands of miles away. It made the whole experience unforgettable.”
