How to get Tunisia World Cup 2026 match tickets?
As of today, the major official World Cup ticket lotteries (including the Visa Presale, Early Ticket Draw, and the post-draw Random Selection Draw) have officially concluded.
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 and is open until the end of the World Cup tournament.
- 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.
How to buy flights to see Tunisia at the World Cup 2026?
Following Tunisia involves navigating travel between Mexico and the United States. Most fans traveling from Tunisia will fly out of Tunis-Carthage International Airport (TUN), likely connecting through European hubs like Paris, Madrid, or Frankfurt to reach North America.
- Monterrey (Games 1 & 2): For the first two matches, fans should fly into Monterrey International Airport (MTY). It is a major hub in northern Mexico with many connections from Texas hubs like Houston and Dallas if you are coming via the US.
- Kansas City (Game 3): Kansas City International Airport (MCI) serves the final group match. There are frequent domestic flights from major US hubs, making it easy to reach after the stint in Mexico.
We recommend using Skyscanner to monitor price drops. Carriers like Air France, Lufthansa, and United are popular choices for the multi-leg journey from Tunisia to North America.
How much are World Cup 2026 flights?
Travel costs during the summer of 2026 are expected to be high. Flights from Tunis to Mexico or the US typically range from $1,100 to $1,800 USD during the tournament. Booking early is essential to secure the best rates.
| Date | Flying From | Flying To | Estimated Cost (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| June 13 | Tunis (TUN) | Monterrey (MTY) | $1,200 |
| June 23 | Monterrey (MTY) | Kansas City (MCI) | $250 |

Where to stay for Tunisia’s World Cup 2026 matches?
With matches in two very different regions, fans should seek accommodation that offers flexibility.
Monterrey (Games 1 & 2)
The Estadio Monterrey is located in Guadalupe. Staying in the San Pedro Garza García area offers high-end hotels and a safe environment, while Monterrey Centro provides a more bustling atmosphere with easier access to public transport and local landmarks.
Kansas City (Game 3)
Arrowhead Stadium is a bit further from the city center. Staying in the Power & Light District of Downtown Kansas City will keep you close to the FIFA Fan Festival, while staying near the Country Club Plaza offers a more scenic stay with great dining options.
Local Logistics: Getting Around in North America
Navigating match days in Mexico and the US requires local knowledge:
- Ride-Sharing: Both Uber and Lyft are essential in the US. In Monterrey, Uber is widely available and safer than hailed taxis for international visitors.
- Public Transit: Monterrey has a clean metro system (Metrorrey) that is helpful, though stadium-bound traffic will still be heavy. Kansas City's public transit is limited, so ride-shares are the primary option.

How to stay connected during the World Cup in North America?
Traveling between Mexico and the United States means you need a data plan that works across borders. Staying connected is crucial for showing your digital ticket at the gate or calling a ride-share after the match. To avoid massive roaming bills from your home provider, an eSIM is the way to go.
With eSIM.sm, you can get 1GB of data for 7 days starting at just $3. It is easily activated via a QR code, so you can be online the moment you arrive in Monterrey or Kansas City. You can easily top up your data if you need more while following the Eagles through the tournament.
