Soccer fans who can't make it over to Philly for World Cup matches can still enjoy a festival-like atmosphere in the Steel City.

The intrigue: Acrisure Stadium is hosting fan zones on the field to watch knockout round, quarterfinal and final matches on the stadium's massive 96-by-28 foot screen, according to Visit PA.

Context: Philadelphia is one of 16 North American cities hosting World Cup matches this summer.

Reading and Scranton will also get fan zones like Pittsburgh.

State of play: Pittsburgh's fan zone is part of an extensive series of large events the city is hosting this year.

Zoom in: Acrisure's jumbotron will show six matches:

Round of 16 matches on July 4 at 1 pm and 5pm
Round of 16 matches on July 5 at 4pm and 8pm
A quarterfinal match on July 9 at 4pm
The World Cup Final on July 19 at 3pm

What's next: The World Cup kicks off matches June 11.
