World Cup Tickets See Record Demand, FIFA Confirms
FIFA confirmed that more than 500 million fans applied for tickets to the 2026 World Cup across the US, Canada, and Mexico. The lottery closed on Tuesday, with notifications expected from February 5. High demand came from Germany, England, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Argentina, and Colombia.
Colombia vs Portugal, Mexico vs South Korea, and the final in New Jersey were the most requested matches. Infantino described the volume of requests as “more than demand – it’s a global statement.”
In response to criticism over high prices, FIFA introduced a $60 ticket option last December to make attending the tournament more affordable.
