FIFA launched a new World Cup ticket draw for one million tickets with a domestic exclusivity purchase window for U.S., Canada, and Mexico residents.
We already have seen massive interest from around the world for this tournament, and especially from within the host countries as Canada, Mexico and the United States prepare to host the biggest FIFA World Cup yet, said Heimo Schirgi, the tournament's chief operating officer. This second phase, with its host country domestic exclusivity time slot, will allow us to say thank you' to these local fans, while ensuring global opportunity as well.
The tournament is the first ever World Cup to be played in three different countries, with the US, Canada and Mexico all hosting games, and will also be the largest edition ever, with 48 teams competing to lift the famous trophy. Played across 16 different cities, including here in the Bay Area at Levi's Stadium, fans will be offered plenty of opportunities to see the highest level of international soccer and some of the biggest names in the game take to the pitch.
