What Happened
FIFA has announced a limited-time opportunity for fans who were unsuccessful in the recent lottery for 2026 World Cup tickets. Following the conclusion of the Random Selection Draw, which ran from December 11 to January 13, some fans received emails offering them a 48-hour window to purchase tickets.
Why It Matters
This initiative allows FIFA to acknowledge the strong interest shown by fans who entered the lottery but did not secure tickets. The organization aims to maximize fairness in its ticketing procedures, as stated in a recent announcement. Successful entrants will be automatically billed for the tickets they requested.
What’s Next
After this exclusive purchase window, FIFA plans to open ticket sales to the general public in April on a first-come, first-served basis. Fans who are eager to attend the tournament should prepare for this upcoming opportunity.
