The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be held from June 11 to July 19 in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. In this tournament, the Uzbekistan national team will participate for the first time in its history, marking a significant milestone for football fans. Uzbekistan will compete in Group K against Colombia (June 17), Portugal (June 23), and the Democratic Republic of Congo (June 27), with these matches serving as crucial tests for the country's football development.

For fans, the ticket purchasing process is conducted through FIFA's official website. Initially, an account must be created at www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026/tickets by clicking the “Sign Up” button and entering personal details (name, surname, date of birth, email). A password is then created, and a verification code is sent via email to activate the account.

After account creation, available tickets can be checked via the “Last-Minute Sales” option. From the match list, Uzbekistan's games are selected, such as the match against Congo on June 27 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Ticket prices range from $140 to $900 across different categories, allowing fans to choose based on their budget.

Once a ticket is selected, the “Add to cart” button is clicked to proceed to the checkout. Information (especially name and surname, which must match passport details) is carefully verified, as incorrect data could lead to issues with visa applications through the FIFA Pass system. Payment is made via Visa or Mastercard, after which a confirmation message with ticket details and instructions is emailed.

If tickets are sold out on the official site, fans can search for tickets resold by other users on the FIFA marketplace. Prices here may differ from official rates; for example, tickets for Uzbekistan's matches could range from $69 to $10,350, with FIFA charging a 15% commission on each sale. Fans can explore these options to support the national team.
