Take transit to the FIFA U-20 World Cup soccer matches
and avoid traffic headaches 

Ottawa – Soccer fans are encouraged to take OC Transpo to FIFA U-20 World Cup Canada matches at Frank Clair Stadium, as there will be no on-site public parking at Lansdowne Park. 

Frank Clair Stadium is well served by bus routes 1 and 7, both of which connect to the Transitway and downtown stops.  Coming from south of the stadium, route 1 connects to Billings Bridge and route 7 to Carleton University. Free parking is available at Carleton University on weekends and anytime at several Park & Ride lots that have frequent Transitway service to downtown. 

Fans should be sure to arrive early.  The stadium will be open two hours before kick-off.  There will be interactive sponsor displays to entertain fans before the matches.
