If your group is heading to Iran vs. New Zealand at SoFi Stadium on June 15, the smartest way to get there is a private charter that drops everyone at the gate together. EZ Vans is a licensed Southern California group transportation company (TCP 20030P / TCP 20030A) based in the Los Angeles area, running vans, minibuses, and motorcoaches to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood for every 2026 World Cup match. This guide covers Iran vs New Zealand SoFi Stadium transportation — kickoff timing, how to reach the venue, what a group ride costs, and how to lock in a vehicle before the date fills up.
The match kicks off at 6 p.m. Pacific (9 p.m. ET). With a near-sellout crowd of around 70,000 expected, the roads around Inglewood will be congested for hours before and after. Booking a charter now means your group skips the parking scramble entirely.
Match Day Details for Iran vs. New Zealand
Iran vs. New Zealand is a Group F fixture at SoFi Stadium, located at 1001 Stadium Drive in Inglewood — about five miles from Los Angeles International Airport. The stadium is referred to as “Los Angeles Stadium” in official FIFA materials during the tournament, but it’s the same SoFi Stadium that hosts the Rams and Chargers.
This is one of eight World Cup matches in Los Angeles. According to FOX Sports’ Los Angeles match schedule, the city hosts five group-stage games, two Round of 32 matches, and a quarterfinal. Demand for ground transportation peaks on every one of those dates, and June 15 is no exception.
Why Getting to SoFi Stadium Takes Planning
SoFi Stadium has no rail station at the venue. Per LA Metro’s World Cup transit guide, fans riding the K Line still have to transfer to a shuttle bus for the final leg. That works, but it adds time and transfers — not ideal for a group trying to stay together.
Driving yourself isn’t much better. Stadium parking on a major match day is limited and expensive, and the road network around Inglewood backs up well beyond a two-mile radius once 70,000 people start arriving. A private charter sidesteps all of it: one vehicle, one drop-off at the designated charter zone, and a driver who knows the match-day road closures. Our World Cup transportation to SoFi Stadium service is built around exactly this problem.
What Transportation to the Match Costs
Group charter pricing depends on a few clear factors rather than a per-head surge rate. The main ones are:
- Vehicle size — a 14-passenger van costs less than a 57-seat motorcoach, but splits across more people.
- Pickup distance — a Downtown LA hotel pickup is a shorter run than Anaheim or San Diego.
- Wait time — whether the driver stays on-site through the match or returns for a scheduled pickup.
- Date demand — peak World Cup dates book out first, so earlier reservations get better availability.
For groups of 15 or more, a single charter almost always beats stacking rideshares. We broke the numbers down in our guide on charter bus versus multiple Ubers for large groups — surge pricing alone on a stadium egress of 70,000 people can erase any apparent savings.
Choosing the Right Vehicle
The right vehicle comes down to headcount and comfort. Small groups of four to 14 ride in passenger vans or sprinters with luggage room. Groups of 15 to 30 fit our minibuses, and full fan delegations of 30 to 57 travel in motorcoaches with restrooms and overhead storage. You can compare every option on the fleet gallery before you book.

Pickup From Hotels, LAX, and Across Southern California
EZ Vans picks up from anywhere in the region — hotels in Downtown Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, or further out in Orange County. For fans flying in for the match, we connect LAX arrivals straight to the stadium or to your hotel first. LAX sits about five miles from SoFi, so a direct transfer makes sense even on a tight schedule.
International supporters traveling for Iran vs. New Zealand often add city tours or day trips between matches. We handle those too, with full-day charters across Los Angeles and the wider region.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time does Iran vs. New Zealand kick off?
Kickoff is 6 p.m. Pacific (9 p.m. ET) on June 15 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. We recommend a pickup that puts your group at the stadium 90 minutes to two hours early to clear security and beat the arrival rush.
How much does group transportation to SoFi Stadium cost?
Cost depends on vehicle size, pickup location, and wait time rather than a per-person surge rate. The quickest way to get an exact figure is to request a free quote with your group size and pickup point.
Can you still book for a match this close to the date?
Often yes, but availability is tight in the final week. Call us as early as possible — same-week bookings depend on remaining fleet capacity for that date.

Yes. We serve Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego, and we regularly run match-day pickups from Anaheim, Long Beach, and beyond.
