The whole world is waiting for the FIFA World Cup 2026. And the wait for the main event is almost over. Because the FIFA Random Selection Draw has officially closed on January 13, 2026. This means you can no longer book FIFA tickets; that opportunity is gone. Now, those who registered will simply have to keep checking their email to see if they received a ticket or not.
The opening match of the 2026 World Cup (Mexico vs. South Africa) will be held on June 11, 2026, at the Estadio Azteca stadium. This stadium is set to become the first in the world to host three World Cup opening matches. Opening matches are incredibly popular, attracting millions of fans, as the first match is considered a historic event. The first match of the World Cup always generates immense excitement and demand. Therefore, getting tickets for the Mexico vs. South Africa World Cup 2026 match will be extremely difficult. Those who participated in the FIFA Random Selection Draw might have a slight chance (perhaps 1%), but for those who didn't apply, getting an opening match ticket will be virtually impossible.
Quick Answer:
Most importantly, those who have applied in the FIFA Random Selection Draw will start receiving updates about the results via email from February 5, 2026. This email will directly state whether or not you have received a ticket. If you get a ticket, the payment will be automatically deducted from the credit or debit card details you provided during registration. However, if there is any issue from the bank's end during the payment process, and the payment is canceled or interrupted, your ticket will be canceled, and you will not get another chance.
The solution to this is to enable international transactions on your credit/debit cards before providing the details, increase your card limit as much as possible, and discuss this with your bank. Even a small mistake can lead to the cancellation of your Mexico vs South Africa World Cup 2026 tickets.
And yes, there is one last chance through which you can get a FIFA World Cup 2026 ticket. That is the Bank of America FIFA Presale. This will take place on February 10, 2026, meaning you still have another opportunity. However, you need to have a Bank of America card for this, as it provides early access, and the competition is also much lower here.
