- The third sales phase ran from Dec. 11 through Tuesday, and the most-requested match was Colombia vs. Portugal on June 27 at Miami Gardens, Florida; FIFA is asking for up to $8,680 per ticket.
- FIFA said it will notify applicants no earlier than Feb. 5 and allocate tickets randomly where demand exceeds availability; Gianni Infantino said, `Knowing how much this tournament means to people around the world, our only regret is that we cannot welcome every fan inside the stadiums.'
