A total of 2.45 million tickets have now been sold 3 months ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup’s launch, said the Federation in recent data.
The first FIFA World Cup™ to be held in the Middle East and Arab world will kick off on November 20, bringing fans from the region and across the world together in a compact and modern setting, added the Federation.
In detail, Qatar, the USA, England, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, the UAE, France, Argentina, Brazil, and Germany topped the ranking of ticket sales by country of residence, added the same source.
In the last sales period alone, which ran from 5 July to 16 August when fans were able to purchase tickets on a first-come, first-served basis via FIFA.com/tickets, a total of 520,532 tickets were sold, further specified the same source.
Fans who now hold confirmation for one or more matches in their FIFA ticketing account are encouraged to start planning their trip as soon as possible by booking their accommodation, if living outside of Qatar, and by applying for their Hayya (the Fan ID for the tournament) via qatar2022.qa or the Hayya to Qatar 2022 app (available on iOS and Android), specified the Federation.
“An approved Hayya application, alongside a valid match ticket, will grant spectators access to stadiums, provide entry to Qatar for international fans, and offer free public transport on matchdays, along with a host of other benefits,” added FIFA.
FIFA called on football fans who have not yet secured their seats, or those who would simply like to take advantage of Qatar’s compact nature by adding more matches to their program to keep an eye on FIFA.com/tickets from late September onwards when the launch date of the last-minute sales phase will be communicated, according to the same source.
