World Cup 2026: Portugal Match Ticket Demand Soars

The game between Portugal and Colombia, referring to the 3rd round of Group K of the 2026 World Cup, is the match in the competition with the highest demand for tickets for the ticket purchase draw, revealed FIFA.

The match, which is scheduled for 00:30 on June 28th (in mainland Portugal) and will be played in Miami, tops the list released by the body that oversees world football, surpassing, for example, Brazil-Morocco, Mexico-South Korea, Ecuador-Germany and Scotland-Brazil.

These are the five most sought after games, involving nine teams from five different continents, highlighted FIFA, adding that, in the first 24 hours of the third phase of ticket sales, around five million tickets have already been requested.

The three hosts (United States, Mexico and Canada) lead the search for tickets, followed by interested parties from Colombia, England, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, Scotland, Germany, Australia, France and Panama.

Portugal is part of Group K, along with Uzbekistan, Colombia and the winner of one of the intercontinental play-offs (Jamaica, New Caledonia or DR Congo). The current phase of choosing games for the random draw runs until January 13th, followed, two days later, by a sales period through the FIFA ticket sales and exchange portal.
