Official FIFA World Cup Tickets Remain Accessible in Dallas and Houston

The excitement is building as the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, with less than two weeks until the event kicks off. Despite the initial rush for tickets through various lotteries and sales, a significant number of official tickets are still available via FIFA, particularly for matches in Dallas and Houston.

Among the games, a notable matchup in Houston features Cabo Verde facing Saudi Arabia, with official ticket prices starting at $380. Interestingly, secondary market listings for this game are available for under $200. Meanwhile, the cost for a semifinal ticket in Dallas has dropped to $2,705, which is about $1,500 less than it was three weeks ago.

The June 26 match between Cabo Verde and Saudi Arabia is highlighted as the most affordable option at the World Cup. On StubHub, tickets are listed at $166, which is a slight increase from $153 three weeks prior but still represents great value. Fans wishing to secure official tickets can access over 100 matches through FIFA's "last-minute sales" link, which was experiencing heavy traffic as of June 1.

For those interested in attending other matches in Texas, FIFA has tickets for several games still available. As of June 1, some matches were down to their final few hundred seats, including:

• June 14: Germany vs. Curaçao in Houston ($400 to $1,300)
• June 20: Netherlands vs. Sweden in Houston ($600 to $1,440)
• June 20: Argentina vs. Austria in Dallas ($835 to $2,925)
