The fourth and final ticket sales phase for the 2026 World Cup will open on April 1, Fifa announced on Wednesday, without specifying how many tickets will be made available.

The “last-minute” sales phase will then remain open through the end of the tournament, which runs from June 11 to July 19, global football’s governing body said in a statement.

Tickets will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis and be “released for sale on a rolling basis, including, on occasion, for matches taking place on the same day”.

During prior phases, Fifa said, more than one million tickets were sold out of more than 500 million requests.

In total, some seven million tickets are expected to be sold, taking into account the capacities of the 16 stadiums being used for the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

But Fifa has been heavily criticised over the price of tickets, with the Football Supporters of Europe (FSE) group filing a lawsuit on Tuesday with the European Commission over “excessive ticket prices”.
