FIFA World Cup 2026 is approaching with only 50 days left until the final kickoff.
As football’s biggest showdown gets under way, the association has reopened ticket sales for all 104 matches.
The sale is on a first-come, first-served basis. Concerns loom, however, over slow demand for the US men’s national team’s high-priced opener against Paraguay.
FIFA announced on Wednesday, April 22 that category 1 to 3 tickets and front row seats will be on sale for the tournament, which will be played in the United States, Mexico and Canada. More than five million tickets have been sold out of the expected six million.
But as reported by The Atlantic, only 40,934 tickets were purchased for the opening game at SoFi Stadium.
That’s even less than the Iran-New Zealand match, where 50,661 tickets were sold at the same venue.
