The repechage party now has a home in Mexico
This week the last battle for two direct tickets to the 2026 World Cup begins. And Mexico will be the perfect setting. Monterrey and Guadalajara will open their doors to teams like Iraq, Bolivia, Suriname and others that dream big.
The passion is already felt at the box office… or rather, on the digital platform. Because there is no physical sale here, everything is through FIFA.
The fans respond strongly
The locations fly. For Iraq’s key match against the winner of Bolivia-Suriname, more than 16,800 tickets have already been sold. What is impressive is the detail:
“Iraq match update: 16,800 tickets sold! Monterrey Stadium (capacity 53,000). Iraqi fans, make some noise,” published an Asian media.
It is estimated that around 10 thousand of those tickets are from Iraqi fans. They want to make the Steel Giant their fortress.
But the first duel is not far behind. The clash between Bolivia and Suriname also has around 15 thousand tickets sold. La Verde promises to dye the stands light blue.
The prices? Accessible. They range from 200 to 300 Mexican pesos. An opportunity to experience football with a World Cup soul without emptying your wallet.
