Soccer lovers, unite. In case you missed it, the FIFA World Cup will host matches in Arlington next year.
Curious who’s made the cut so far? Here’s the breakdown. Snagging tickets can be a little tricky for those who haven’t done it before — so without further ado, here’s how to get your own in five easy steps.
Register interest online
Your first stop is to go to the official FIFA site and formally register your interest in tickets. That way, you’ll receive updates on all parts of the sales process.
Obtain a FIFA ID
To create your own FIFA ID, you’ll visit FIFA.com/tickets. At the top right corner of the page, you’ll want to click on the “person” icon and then “SIGN UP.” Safely enter the personal details requested, create a unique and secure password, and agree to conditions.
Watch for the first draw
The first phase of ticket sales is decided by draw, so you’ll need to register and apply during this period.
