Four Winds is an independent, locally owned inn in Bonham, Texas and is not an official FIFA or World Cup partner. Stadium names may be temporarily changed for the tournament (AT&T Stadium will be branded “Dallas Stadium” during FIFA World Cup 26™). Match information is based on the current published schedule and may change — always confirm details on the official FIFA website.
Why Base in Bonham for the Dallas World Cup?
The 2026 FIFA World Cup runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026, with 48 national teams playing 104 matches across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. North Texas is one of the busiest hubs in the entire tournament.
Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium in Arlington) will host major fixtures — including Netherlands vs Japan, England vs Croatia, Argentina vs Austria, and multiple knockout matches — plus a semi-final. Fair Park in Dallas will host a massive Fan Festival throughout the tournament.
That also means hotel prices, traffic, and crowds will spike across the metro. In Bonham, you get a calmer, more affordable home base with an easy highway drive into the action when you want it — and a quiet porch when you’re done.

World Cup 2026 in North America — What to Expect
FIFA World Cup 26™ is the first 48-team World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The official draw in December 2025 assigned teams to 12 groups of four.
