Fifa announces 2026 World Cup tickets from $60 | OneFootball

Fans of teams qualified for the 2026 World Cup will pay tickets costing US$ 60 (approximately R$ 330 at the current exchange rate) per game, announced FIFA this Tuesday, in response to associations that reported "astronomical" prices.

A new category, the “Supporter Entry,” will offer these tickets, “available for all 104 matches” of the tournament, including the final, explained the football governing body in a statement.

“This initiative aims to primarily support fans who follow their teams throughout the competition,” added FIFA.

Last Thursday, the association Football Supporters Europe (FSE) spoke out against the “astronomical prices (…) imposed by FIFA on the most loyal fans.”

According to the FSE, which claimed to have seen the “prices progressively and confidentially published by FIFA,” following a team from the opening match to the final “would cost at least US$ 6,900 [more than R$ 37,000],” a value “almost five times higher than during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.”

According to FIFA, “20 million ticket requests have been received so far during the current lottery sales phase,” which began last Thursday.

The 2026 World Cup, the first with the participation of 48 teams, will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
