The FIFA World Cup 2026™ is fast approaching, bringing global excitement to soccer fans across Canada. As a leading Soccer Club and Soccer Academy in the Lower Mainland, SEFA Soccer is thrilled to share the latest updates on ticket sales. This monumental event isn’t just about watching high level matches—it’s an opportunity to inspire the next generation of players through kid soccer programs. Whether you’re in Burnaby, New Westminster, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Surrey, Port Coquitlam, or Vancouver, the World Cup buzz can fuel your child’s love for the game.

FIFA’s Early Ticket Draw: Your Chance to Secure Seats Now

FIFA has officially launched the second phase of public ticket sales with the ‘Early Ticket Draw,’ open from October 27 to 31, 2025. This application window allows fans to enter for a randomized chance to purchase tickets via FIFA.com/tickets. Unlike timed sales, your entry timing within this period won’t affect your odds—it’s all about luck and availability.

Key details from FIFA:

  • Applications are processed through a lottery system.
  • Successful applicants get a designated time slot to buy tickets, subject to FIFA’s terms.
  • Households are limited to four tickets per match and 40 total for the tournament.

This phase follows the initial sales, with more opportunities expected later. For full FAQs and details, head to FIFA.com/tickets. Remember, you can apply through both public draws and specialized lotteries without violating restrictions.

Canada Soccer’s Ticket Lottery for CanadaRED Members

As hosts, Canada Soccer is making it easier for dedicated fans to attend Canada’s Men’s National Team games. They receive 8% of sellable tickets per match, distributed via a lottery exclusive to CanadaRED members. This ensures supporters like you can cheer on the team live.

How the Canada Soccer lottery works:

  • Members will get an email soon to enter.
  • Separate draws for each group-stage match Canada plays.
  • Equal tickets available per membership tier, starting from the highest (Icon).
  • Unsuccessful entries cascade to lower tiers.
  • Upgrade your membership anytime before the window closes via the CanadaRED portal.

The lottery is set to launch shortly after the Official Draw in early December 2025. Stay subscribed to CanadaRED emails for updates—unsubscribing means missing out on these benefits.
