How to buy Ghana vs Panama tickets?
As of today, the major official World Cup ticket lotteries (including the Visa Presale and early Random Selection Draws) have concluded. With record-breaking demand, primary availability via the initial phases is now extremely limited.
Here is the current status of ticket sales:
- Last-Minute Sales Phase: This phase is currently live and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. Unlike the lotteries, these are real-time transactions. This is the final window to buy directly from FIFA.
- Official FIFA Resale Marketplace: This is the only authorized platform for fans to buy and sell verified tickets at face value. It will remain open until the end of the tournament.
- Secondary Marketplaces: Fans can also find tickets on platforms like StubHub. These are often the best options for high-demand knockout games, though prices may vary from face value. Always check the T&Cs of the secondary site before purchasing.

Everything you need to know about BMO Field
The Ontario venue, officially designated as Toronto Stadium (and known commercially as BMO Field) for the tournament, is Canada's first soccer-specific stadium and a cornerstone of the country's footballing identity.
Located at Exhibition Place along the shores of Lake Ontario, the venue recently underwent a massive $158 million transformation to prepare for its global moment. It features a distinctive English Premier League-style roof canopy that covers the east, west, and south stands, protecting fans while maintaining an open-air connection to the city's skyline.
The stadium is renowned for its intimate seating layout, which places supporters remarkably close to the pitch, and its new four-corner LED videoboard system - the largest outdoor high-definition display in the country.
For the 2026 World Cup, the stadium has been expanded to a capacity of 45,000 seats. This was achieved through the addition of 17,756 temporary seats in the north and south grandstands, nearly doubling its usual size to meet international requirements.
To ensure a world-class experience, the venue now boasts a 360-degree concourse, upgraded hospitality suites (including the new Tunnel Club), and a brand-new FIFA-standard hybrid grass pitch equipped with advanced SubAir technology to handle the demands of the six matches it is scheduled to host.
