FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The MBTA will run four special trains from Boston to Foxboro for the Brazil vs. France friendly match game.

The $30 event ticket is also good for travel across the Commuter Rail network on March 26.

Train service will operate express from Boston’s South Station (no stops at Back Bay or Dedham Corporate Center) to Foxboro Station.

The event trains will depart Boston as boarding is complete, roughly every 15 minutes, beginning at 12:45 PM. Passengers in Group A should arrive at South Station by 12:30 PM, and passengers in Group B should arrive by 1 PM.

After the match, the first return train will depart from Foxboro Station 30 minutes after the final whistle.
