FIFA: Irish fans among the biggest purchasers of World Cup tickets so far

Ireland are on course to have a bumper following at next summer’s World Cup final - according to FIFA’s early ticket sales.

Outside of co-hosts Australia and New Zealand, only six other nations have sold more tickets so far for the tournament, which begins on July 20.

Amber Barrett’s goal against Scotland in Hampden Park last month secured a first ever place at a major women’s finals at senior level for the Girls in Green - where they were drawn with Australia, Canada and Nigeria.

FIFA have confirmed that fans from 100 nations have already secured seats for games during a presale window, with Ireland being one of the strongest markets.

According to FIFA, fans residing in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, England, China, Canada, Qatar, Germany, Ireland, and France are the top 10 purchasers to date.

FIFA Secretary General, Fatma Samoura, said: “So far fans from exactly 100 different countries of residence have secured passes for this once-in-a-lifetime event, highlighting the passion and excitement that exists around the world for next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup.”

“We’re witnessing strong demand for many fixtures, so I urge everyone to get in quickly during this new sales phase.

“Join us in making history in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand by adding to the crowd, culture, and colour of the biggest FIFA Women’s World Cup ever.”

Fans can now secure single match passes to next year’s global women’s football showpiece here.
