Initial data reveal strong interest in high-profile group-stage fixtures: Colombia–Portugal (Miami, June 27) is currently the most requested match, followed by Brazil–Morocco (New York/New Jersey, June 13), the world football governing body said in a statement.
The matches Mexico–Republic of Korea (Guadalajara, June 18), Ecuador–Germany (New York/New Jersey, June 25) and Scotland–Brazil (Miami, June 24) complete the Top 5, the same source added, noting that the five fixtures bring together nine teams from five continents.
Ticket requests have been submitted from more than 200 countries and territories via the FIFA.com/tickets platform since the opening of this third sales phase.
After the three host countries—Canada, Mexico and the United States—the ten most represented countries of residence in the applications are Colombia, England, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, Scotland, Germany, Australia, France and Panama, the same source noted, explaining that the strong presence of South American countries, as well as Scotland’s return to the World Cup after a 28-year absence, illustrates the global enthusiasm generated by this edition.
The draw phase remains open until Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. ET (5:00 p.m. CET). FIFA recalls that the time at which an application is submitted has no impact on the chances of being selected.
