The 2026 FIFA<\/a> World Cup has yet to kick off, but the passion is already at historic levels. In just 24 hours since the opening of the third sales phase, fans from more than 200 countries and territories have submitted five million ticket applications, confirming that the first-ever 48-team World Cup, hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada, is generating unprecedented global anticipation.<\/p>\n

This volume of requests not only reflects the interest in the tournament, but also in specific matches in the group stage, which are already emerging as the most sought-after by international fans.<\/p>\n

According to the first data from the 2026 World Cup Random Selection Draw, the Colombia vs Portugal match, scheduled for June 27 in Miami, is currently the most searched match by fans around the world.<\/p>\n

The combination of two highly talented teams, a strong international presence and large migrant communities – especially in the United States – explains their enormous demand.<\/p>\n

Other parties concentrating a high number of applications include:<\/p>\n

Brazil vs Morocco – New York\/New Jersey (June 13)
\nMexico vs Republic of Korea – Guadalajara (June 18)
\nEcuador vs Germany – New York\/New Jersey (June 25)
\nScotland vs Brazil – Miami (June 24)<\/p>\n

These five matches bring together nine teams from five continents, underscoring the global reach of the 2026 World Cup and the appeal of the new expanded format.<\/p>\n

South America drives global demand<\/h2>\n

After the three host countries of the 2026 World Cup, the nationalities that sent the most ticket applications during the first day were:<\/p>\n

Colombia, England, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, Scotland, Germany, Australia, France and Panama.<\/p>\n

The strong presence of South American teams confirms the weight of Latin America in this edition of the World Cup.<\/p>\n

For the Hispanic community in the United States, this translates into a unique opportunity to watch their favorite teams without leaving the country.<\/p>\n

Especially in locations such as Miami, New York\/New Jersey and other key cities.<\/p>\n

Also noteworthy is the enthusiasm of Scottish fans, who are celebrating their team’s return to the World Cup after a 28-year absence, which explains its place among the countries with the highest demand.<\/p>\n

The public response makes it clear that the 2026 World Cup is already mobilizing millions, even many months before the opening whistle.<\/p>\n

The current sales phase will remain open until January 13, 2026, and during this period the order of application does not influence the odds of selection, a key consideration for fans.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Official Resale and Exchange Platform will be available as of December 15, 2025, allowing additional tickets to be bought or sold under the established rules.<\/p>\n

For U.S. Hispanics, the 2026 World Cup will not only be a sporting event, but a historic cultural celebration that has already begun.<\/p>\n
