Initial Registration of Interest

As previously outlined, we will be running our own registration of interest before you apply for tickets, for the ESTC allocation, via FIFA. 

This is not an official registration window; however, we encourage all members who plan on applying for tickets to register their interest. The data we gather will help us provide clearer, more tailored guidance to supporters to help you get the games and categories you wish based on your caps total.

This registration is now open, and a link can be found at the bottom of this page. 

This initial registration window will close on Wednesday 10 December at 11.59pm GMT.

Off the back of our own registration, we expect to be able to offer members advice on their application by Friday 12 December.

An email will then be sent to all members on Monday 15 December with guidance on how to access FIFA’s application portal to officially apply for tickets.

For more information on the guidance process, please check our most recent update.

Ticket Prices, Allocations and Category Splits

At present, FIFA are yet to confirm ticket prices or final allocations for each of our matches.

We will receive approximately eight per cent of the saleable capacity for each stadium we play in.

We expect to receive tickets in Categories 1 (most expensive), 2 and 3 (least expensive) for each match.

We expect confirmation on this before the official registration opens via FIFA’s website.  As soon as this is received, we will update all members.

We understand that this information will be important to your planning process, and we will continue to seek clarification as soon as possible.
