The initial figures indicate a robust interest in high-profile group-stage matches, with Colombia v Portugal (Miami, June 27) emerging as the most requested game during the Random Selection Draw period thus far. Brazil v Morocco (New York New Jersey, June 13), Mexico v Korea Republic (Guadalajara, June 18), Ecuador v Germany (New York New Jersey, June 25), and Scotland v Brazil (Miami, June 24) complete the top five matches, featuring nine teams from five different continents.
After the first 24 hours, the three host nations top the list, followed by the next ten countries of residence for ticket requests: Colombia, England, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, Scotland, Germany, Australia, France, and Panama.
The significant presence of South American neighbors Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, and Argentina, along with Central Americans from Panama, highlights how the FIFA World Cup 2026 is captivating audiences across the Americas. Scotland’s inclusion in the top ten reflects the fans’ enthusiasm for seeing their team on the global stage for the first time in 28 years, adding to the growing expectation that football will bring the world together in North America in six months.
