New ticket pricing tier introduced for fans of qualified teams at FIFA World Cup 2026

Zurich, Dec 17 (UNI) With demand in the current sales phase achieving 20 million ticket requests, FIFA has confirmed that fans of the national teams that have qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2026 will benefit from a dedicated ticket pricing tier, which has been designed to make following their teams on football’s greatest stage more affordable.
The newly introduced Supporter Entry Tier will be available at fixed price of USD 60 per ticket for each of the 104 matches, including the final. The entry tier tickets will be allocated specifically to supporters of qualified teams, with the selection and distribution process managed individually by the Participating Member Associations (PMAs). Each PMA will define its own eligibility criteria and application process. They are requested to ensure that these tickets are specifically allocated to loyal fans who are closely connected to their national teams.
In total, 50 per cent of each PMA allocation will fall within the most affordable range, namely Supporter Value Tier (40 pc) and the Supporter Entry Tier (10 pc). The remaining allocation is split evenly between the Supporter Standard Tier and the Supporter Premier Tier.
