- FIFA announced Wednesday that it received more than 500 million ticket requests for World Cup 2026.
- FIFA said outside the host United States, Mexico and Canada, most ticket requests came from fans residing in Germany, England, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Colombia, showing demand across multiple international fan bases.
- 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.'
