World Cup: Countries that have won the FIFA's biggest soccer tournament
The FIFA World Cup is the biggest men's soccer tournament in the world. Here's a look at the eight countries that have won the World Cup since the tournament was first held in 1930.
Calling all FIFA World Cup fans!
You can now apply to get tickets to watch specific matches ahead of next year’s tournament.
The third phase of ticket sales is called the "Random Selection Draw" and fans will be informed if they have been successful in the latest lottery.
How to apply for tickets in the Random Selection Draw
What you can do:
The draw opened Dec. 11 at 11:00 ET (1600 GMT) and closes Jan. 13, 2026.
FIFA says ticket applications can be made at any point during this window and the timing of entry will not impact the chances of success.
Fans can apply via FIFA's website for a maximum of four tickets per household per match and a maximum of 40 tickets throughout the tournament.
Fans will need a FIFA ID to apply for tickets and can pick which matches and which pricing category they want to apply for.
There are four categories, with the best seats in Category 1, and Category 4 seats somewhere around the top of stadiums.
Successful applicants will be notified by email in February and charged automatically.

How much do FIFA World Cup tickets cost?
Dig deeper:
FIFA said in September that ticket prices would range initially from $60 for group-stage matches to $6,730 for the final. Those prices are subject to change and, in many cases, likely to soar as FIFA utilizes dynamic pricing for the first time at the World Cup.
The last time the U.S. hosted the World Cup in 1994, prices ranged from $25 to $475. In Qatar in 2022, prices ranged from around $70 to $1,600 when ticket details were announced.
Tickets for the final at MetLife Stadium on July 19 are already going for in excess of $11,000 on secondary resale sites.
For this tournament, FIFA has also set up its own resale platform where it charges a 15% fee based on the total resale price.
