- Purpose and applicability of these Ticket Terms of Use
1.1. These Ticket Terms of Use (“Terms of Use”) apply to each official ticket (“Ticket”)
for an official match (“Match”) of the FIFA World Cup 26™ football tournament
(“Competition”) that is played in the United States of America (“Host Country”).
The current version of these Terms of Use is publicly available on the FIFA World Cup
26™ Tournament App (“Ticketing App”, and together with the platform, the
“Ticketing Website”).
1.2. The Competition is organized by the Fédération Internationale de Football
Association (“FIFA”) To support the delivery of the Competition, including ticket
sales, FIFA has established local FIFA subsidiaries, including FWC2026 US, Inc., in the
United States of America (“FIFA US”). FIFA and FIFA US are referred to together in
these Terms of Use as “FIFA Ticketing”.
1.3. ALL TICKETS FOR MATCHES HELD IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ARE ISSUED
BY FIFA US OR ANY AUTHORIZED THIRD-PARTY.
1.4. A Ticket may only be used by:
1.4.1. a Ticket purchaser who purchases or otherwise receives a valid Ticket by
purchase from FIFA Ticketing on the primary market or by resale
purchase on FIFA’s fan-to-fan online marketplace (“Ticket Purchaser”);
and
1.4.2. any individuals to whom a Ticket Purchaser sends and/or transfers a
valid Ticket.
- Use of Tickets
2.1. Each Ticket represents a personal, revocable single-entry license for one person to
enter a Stadium and occupy a seat or standing area to attend the Match specified
on the Ticket during the hours designated by FIFA Ticketing, subject at all times but
not limited to, these Terms of Use. Each Ticket shall remain at all times the property
of FIFA Ticketing.
2.2. Unless otherwise permitted by these Terms of Use, a Ticket Holder must hold a valid
Ticket from a source, and in a form authorised and issued by FIFA Ticketing and
present the Ticket at the designated Stadium access point(s) in order to enter a
Stadium.
2.3. UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN TICKET HOLDER AND
FIFA TICKETING, A TICKET HOLDER HAS NO RIGHT TO EXCHANGE, RESELL, OR
RECEIVE REFUNDS FROM TICKETS. TICKETS HAVE NO CASH VALUE. - Source of Ticket
3.1. All Tickets must be originally issued from FIFA, FIFA Ticketing, or any of its or their
authorized third parties. The Ticketing Website is the Competition’s only authorized
primary ticket sales platform for Tickets available to the general public. Any other
Tickets are not valid and will not be accepted.
- Age of Ticket Holders
5.1. Every person wishing to attend a Match needs their own Ticket, irrespective of their
age, except as set out below. The minimum age to sign up for and use the Ticketing
App is sixteen (16). Ticket Holders under the age of sixteen (16) years must enter
the Stadium with the Ticket Purchaser and Ticket Purchaser must retain such
minor(s) Ticket.
5.2. Ticket Purchasers of any Ticket(s) used to access a Match by any minor(s) under the
age of eighteen (18) years are responsible for the conduct of such minor(s) at all
times. - Babies in Arms
6.1. Each individual Ticket Holder may be accompanied by one baby in arms. A baby in
arms will not be required to have their own Ticket and may only sit on the lap of the
Ticket Holder. For the purposes of this Clause, a “baby in arms” is someone who
satisfies all of the following criteria: (i) is the age of two (2) years or under on the
day of a Match, (ii) is no more than thirty-four inches (34”) in height, and (iii) is not
intended to occupy a seat of their own. A Ticket Holder may not be accompanied by
a baby in arms if the Ticket Holder is allocated to a standing section of the Stadium.
6.2. If requested by FIFA Ticketing or Stadium security, a Ticket Holder may be required
to provide proof of the age of the baby in arms accompanying the Ticket Holder. If
the Ticket Holder fails to verify baby in arms meets the above criteria to the
satisfaction of FIFA Ticketing, in its sole discretion, the Ticket Holder may be refused
entry to a Stadium (or may be removed from a Stadium) and Ticket Holder’s Ticket
may be cancelled without notice.
6.3. Each Ticket Holder accompanied by a baby in arms acknowledges that FIFA Ticketing
shall not afford the Ticket Holder any preferential treatment at the Stadium and
voluntarily assumes all risks related to attending a Match at a Stadium with a baby
in arms. FIFA Ticketing accepts no responsibility for any actions of the Ticket Holder
or any third party that may affect the experience of any babies in arms at a Match
at a Stadium.
6.4. A Ticket Holder accompanied by a baby in arms is required to comply with all
requirements set out in the Stadium Code of Conduct as it may relate to equipment
associated with transporting and/or caring for a baby in arms at the Stadium. - Personalized Tickets
7.1. Depending on the category of Tickets purchased by the Ticket Purchaser, FIFA
Ticketing may require that Tickets be personalised to the Ticket Holder, for example
by their first and last name. If required, the Ticket Purchaser is responsible for
ensuring Tickets are accurately personalised for each applicable Ticket Holder. A
Ticket Holder may be required to demonstrate, to the satisfaction of FIFA Ticketing
or Stadium operators, that they are validly entitled to use the respective Ticket, for
example by verifying their identity. If required, acceptable forms of identification
will be described from time to time on the Ticketing Website. If required and the
Ticket Holder is not able to demonstrate their entitlement to use a Ticket, they may
be refused entry to the Stadium (or removed from the Stadium) and the Ticket may
be cancelled without notice.
