This is an important feature of the format

Perth will likely be one of the cities to host games in the round of 16 – a new feature in the 2027 World Cup, which will be the first to feature 24 teams up from 20.

Are we still talking about the stadium?

Weird to not have an east coast game and then Perth on the opening night - surely two games are better than one?
