Morocco vs Brazil
Your local guide for New York & New Jersey: where to watch Morocco with other fans, where to eat, and how to get to the stadium on match day.
Getting There
NJ Transit is the recommended way in. Trains run from New York Penn Station to Secaucus Junction every few minutes on match day, then a shuttle train to the stadium; return trains run frequently after full time. Book transit ahead via the NJ Transit app. Driving: MetLife is off Route 120 in the Meadowlands Sports Complex — cash-free lots open early afternoon. Doors open 3:00 PM, parking from 2:00 PM. Plan extra time near kickoff.
