With over 500 million requests processed during those phases, primary availability is now at an all-time low.
Here's what you need to know at a glance:
- The Last-Minute Sales Phase is currently live, having launched on April 1. Unlike previous rounds, this is not a lottery. Tickets are being sold on a strictly first-come, first-served basis with immediate confirmation. This represents the final opportunity to purchase official tickets directly from FIFA.
- The Official FIFA Resale Marketplace is also open. This platform is now the primary authorized destination for fans to buy and sell verified tickets at regulated prices as the tournament approaches.
- Alternatively, fans may look to secondary marketplaces like StubHub for last-minute tickets. Remember to check the T&Cs of any secondary sites for tickets you're buying.

What to expect from Senegal in the World Cup 2026?
The East African coastal nation may have only made three previous World Cup tournament appearances, but it managed to progress from its group on two of those occasions. Senegal impressively reached the last-8 stage on their World Cup debut back in 2002. They shocked the footballing world that year by beating the reigning World Cup and European champions, France, 1-0 in Seoul, in their opening group game. Last time out in Qatar (2022), they also won two of their group games to move forward to the knockouts.
Pape Thiaw's Senegal will arrive in North America in decent form. They’ve only lost twice in friendlies (vs Algeria, 2023 & vs Brazil, 2025) since being knocked out of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The Lions roared during qualifying too, going unbeaten, winning 7 of their 10 matches. They also received a further boost in the summer, with a standout 3-1 victory against England in Nottingham, which is currently the only defeat the Three Lions have suffered under Thomas Tuchel’s reign.
Senegal has a very experienced and established spine to their side, which will prove invaluable to their World Cup ambitions. Kalidou Koulibaly in defence, Idrissa Gueye in midfield, and Sadio Mane upfront have all got 100+ international caps under their belt. That is just scratching the surface, though, as the likes of Pape Gueye, Iliman Ndiaye, Ismaila Sarr, and Nicolas Jackson all play regularly for high-profile European clubs.
