Zurich, April 22 (QNA) - FIFA has announced the release of a new allocation of tickets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, 50 days ahead of the tournament's kick off in North America.

In a statement published on its official website, FIFA said fans will be able to purchase tickets for all 104 matches through FIFA's online platform from 13:00 GMT, with sales conducted on a first-come, first-served basis.

The governing body added that more than five million tickets have already been sold. While this phase is described as the final stage of ticket sales, FIFA noted that additional tickets will continue to be made available periodically until the final match on July 19.

The 2026 edition of the World Cup will be the largest in the competition's history, featuring 48 teams — an expansion from the previous format of 32 nations.

The tournament, jointly hosted by three countries for the first time, is expected to draw unprecedented global attendance and viewership. (QNA)
