JAKARTA - FIFA announced on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, local time, plans for the final round of 2026 World Cup ticket sales.
The world football federation said more than one million tickets had been sold by the end of the previous sale between December 2025 and February 2026.
Meanwhile, additional tickets will be sold to the public from April 1, 2026 until the end of the tournament, which will take place from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
This latest phase comes after FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in January 2026 that ticket demand was so high that all 104 2026 World Cup matches would be sold out.
FIFA has faced criticism over its ticket pricing strategy for the tournament, which is co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Fans accused FIFA of a monumental betrayal in December 2025 when tickets went on sale to the public at prices ranging from $140 (around Rp2.3 million) for the cheapest group match to $8,680 (around Rp146.8 million) for the final.
On Tuesday, March 24, 2026, Football Supporters Europe (FSE) said it had joined consumer group Euroconsumers to file a formal complaint with the European Commission regarding ticket prices.
FSE criticized the ticket prices as too high and the use of dynamic pricing for the first time in the World Cup, which could lead to costs increasing further.
FIFA said the remaining tickets would be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. It said this latest phase would allow fans to choose specific seats.
Meanwhile, those who have purchased tickets will be able to see which seats have been allocated for them starting April 1, 2026.
