LET MARTA DRIVE YOU TO FIFA FAN FESTIVAL FOR USMNT MATCH THURSDAY, JUNE 25th

ATLANTA – The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) will provide increased police and staff presence on the system for the recently added FIFA Fan Festival on Thursday, June 26, 2026, as the U.S. Men’s National Team plays Türkiye (Turkey) at 10 p.m. EST. Centennial Olympic Park opens at 6 p.m. and closes at midnight.

Rail and bus service will not be extended beyond normal revenue service hours, so festival attendees should plan to catch a departing train before 1:15 a.m. to ensure a ride to their destination before the end of MARTA service. MARTA encourages customers to use rail stations close to the park including SEC District and Peachtree Center.

Operations & Safety
MARTA rail and bus service will operate on a regular weekday schedule with extended Red Line service to the airport until end of revenue service.

MARTA Police officers will patrol trains, stations, buses, and parking lots.

MARTA Transit Ambassadors in white MARTA-branded soccer jerseys will be on the system to assist.
