Overview
- Fans who applied in the recent phase will be notified by email no earlier than 5 February, with further sales phases continuing through the tournament.
- FIFA introduced a lower-priced Basisrang category for all 48 teams and all matches following global protests over high prices.
- The discounted share is limited: each team’s fan block is 8% of a match’s tickets, and only 10% of that allocation is Basisrang.
- Germany generated the most applications outside the three host nations, and the DFB cites Basisrang totals of 581 vs Curaçao, 395 vs Ivory Coast, and 632 vs Ecuador.
- Football Supporters Europe welcomed the new category but criticized the very small number of cheaper seats.
