Former NFL player Marshawn Lynch is photographed as a credentialed member of the media for the United States’ 2026 World Cup group-stage match against Australia at Seattle’s Lumen Field. Multiple outlets report that Lynch returns to the stadium, which is in familiar territory given his Seattle Seahawks background. Ahead of Friday’s kickoff, he is seen on the sidelines wearing a green photographer’s bib and holding a camera. Accounts describe him working in a new off-field role rather than as a spectator or performer. The coverage also notes the match’s atmosphere, with fans from both the United States and Australia filling streets in Seattle before the game. The reports are consistent that Lynch’s involvement is tied directly to photographing the match and that he appears in a media capacity among other credentialed personnel. No source provides additional details about where or how the photos will be used. Overall, the reports focus on Lynch’s participation as a photographer during the USA–Australia World Cup fixture and the large crowd and pregame energy in Seattle.
