Washington, USA: The fourth and final phase of ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup in North America began yesterday, FIFA announced.

The phase for the June 11-July 19 event in the United States, Mexico and Canada involves more than three million tickets.

This “last-minute” sales phase opened at 1500 GMT on the official website, FIFA.com/tickets, the global governing body stated in a press release.

Tickets are being sold on a “first-come, first-served” basis and will remain available until the end of the competition on July 19, it added.

In total, nearly seven million tickets are being offered for the competition, taking into account the capacities of the 16 stadiums hosting the global tournament.

More than three million of these tickets have already been sold during the first three sales phases.

This summer, the tournament will feature 48 teams and 104 matches, 78 of which will take place on American soil.
