The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) announced the launch of the last-minute ticket sales phase for the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, early April. Tickets will be made available to the general public on a first-come, first-served basis, and this phase will continue until the end of the tournament.

According to FIFA, this phase is the fourth and final stage of the official ticket sales process. Fans will be able to purchase tickets directly through the official FIFA website, select available seats, and complete the purchase immediately if tickets are available.

The 2026 edition is expected to set a new record in attendance, surpassing the 1994 World Cup record of around 3.5 million spectators, due to the high global demand for tickets. This edition will be the largest in the tournament’s history, featuring 48 teams and being hosted across three countries: the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

FIFA will also open the official resale and transfer platform on Thursday, April 2, for ticket holders who are unable to attend matches. This platform ensures safe and approved ticket transactions.

In a related context, the Jordan Football Association previously announced ticket prices for the Jordanian national team’s matches in the 2026 World Cup, as well as the approved method for obtaining them, in an effort to enable Jordanian fans to follow their national team during the tournament.

The association stated that 8% of each stadium’s capacity has been allocated to the national team’s supporters for “Al-Nashama” matches. Tickets will be sold through the FIFA platform under a multi-stage system, which may include a random draw if the number of applications exceeds the allocated percentage.

The association also emphasized the need for fans to obtain travel visas independently, noting that a match ticket does not guarantee entry into the host countries. Tickets will be available exclusively online through the official World Cup ticketing application.
