What to expect
Each of those eight matches is a bracket slot, not a fixed team-vs-team fixture yet, so the opponents will only be known after the earlier knockout round is completed. FIFA’s own schedule page confirms the tournament-wide fixtures, dates, and venues, including the Round of 16 location set.
Quick note
One of the listed Round of 16 matches is already shown in FIFA’s match center as taking place at the New York/New Jersey Stadium, which matches the official schedule’s MetLife Stadium entry.
