"Fifa has introduced a small number of "more affordable" $60 (45) tickets for all 104 matches at the 2026 World Cup following criticism of its pricing structure for the tournament. World football's governing body says the new ticket price will be available to a certain number of "loyal fans" of the countries that have qualified for the World Cup. The 45 ticket falls in the supporter entry tier and will make up 10% of the allocation for each Football Association whose team is taking part."
""The entry tier tickets will be allocated specifically to supporters of qualified teams, with the selection and distribution process managed individually by the participating member associations (PMAs)," said a Fifa statement. "Each PMA will define its own eligibility criteria and application process. They are requested to ensure that these tickets are specifically allocated to loyal fans who are closely connected to their national teams."
""In total, 50% of each PMA allocation will fall within the most affordable range, namely supporter value tier (40%) and the supporter entry tier (10%). The remaining allocation is split evenly between the supporter standard tier and the supporter premier tier.""
FIFA has introduced a limited number of $60 (£45) supporter entry tickets for all 104 matches at the 2026 World Cup in response to criticism of its pricing structure. The supporter entry ticket will constitute 10% of each Football Association's allocation for participating teams. FIFA designates these entry-tier tickets for loyal fans of qualified countries and requires participating member associations (PMAs) to manage selection and distribution. Each PMA must define its own eligibility criteria and application process and ensure allocation to supporters closely connected to national teams. Overall, half of each PMA allocation falls within the most affordable range (40% supporter value, 10% supporter entry), with the remainder split evenly between supporter standard and supporter premier tiers.
