After last week’s World Cup Draw, the lottery phase, through which the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) will allocate tickets to fans, officially opened on Thursday.
The sale through the FIFA platform is not a direct process, to say the least. First, fans must register an account on the official ticketing platform, providing biographical information. Then, hopeful match-goers must select the tickets they’re interested in purchasing before signing up for the aforementioned lottery phase, which is only accessible with a VISA debit/credit card. Finally, if the customer is then picked during the lottery, their cards are automatically charged, after which, they, at last, receive their ticket.
Morocco fans hoping to support the Atlas Lions against Brazil, Scotland, and Haiti will notice that ticket prices differ from one match to another. These changes are due to the new FIFA dynamic pricing policy, under which ticket prices will constantly be adjusted based on demand, location, and remaining inventory, according to FIFA officials.
As of the date of writing, this is how Morocco’s group stage ticket prices are shaping up for each match.
Brazil vs. Morocco, June 13 – New York/New Jersey Stadium
Usual home of the two New York NFL franchises, the Jets and the Giants, MetLife stadium will be renamed New York/New Jersey Stadium during the duration of the tournament due to sponsorship conflicts.
The 85.000 seater stadium, which is set to host the eventual World Cup final, is where Morocco will kick off its tournament against Brazil.
This match is currently the priciest Atlas Lions group stage fixture, with the cheapest tickets available for sale starting at 265 USD.
Fans can purchase tickets for this match at three different price points:
- The Supporter Value Tier (Category 3) at 265 USD
- The Supporter Standard Tier (Category 2) at 500 USD
- The Supporter Premier Tier (Category 1) at 700 USD
Scotland vs. Morocco, June 19 – Boston Stadium
Walid Regragui’s men will remain on the East Coast for their second match, traveling northeast to Foxborough, Massachusetts, roughly 35km south of Boston, where they will face Scotland at Gillette Stadium.
The 65,878 capacity stadium is the home of the NFL’s New England Patriots and the MLS’ New England Revolution.
Prices for this match are slightly cheaper than those for Morocco’s opener.
Here is an overview of the three price points:
- The Supporter Value Tier (Category 3) at 220 USD
- The Supporter Standard Tier (Category 2) at 430 USD
- The Supporter Premier Tier (Category 1) at 600 USD
Morocco vs. Haiti, June 24 – Atlanta Stadium
For their final group stage clash, the Atlas Lions will head south to Atlanta, Georgia where they will take on Haiti at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons (NFL) and Atlanta United (MLS).
This is the cheapest of Morocco’s fixtures to attend, with Category 3 tickets selling at 180 USD.
The three price points are as follows:
- The Supporter Value Tier (Category 3) at 180 USD
- The Supporter Standard Tier (Category 2) at 400 USD
- The Supporter Premier Tier (Category 1) at 500 USD
What About Knockout Stage Tickets?
Atlas Lions supporters can also already apply for tickets for knockout stage matches, though these tickets are conditional on Morocco, first qualifying from Group C.
Ticket prices for knockout stage tickets will be increasingly pricier the further along the Atlas Lions make it, with the exception of a potential third-place match.

FIFA’s pricing of 2026 World Cup tickets has come under fire from many critics and fan associations, with Football Supporters Europe (FSE) notably urging FIFA to halt ticket sales and review pricing. The FSE statement noted a major discrepancy between the quoted 21 USD price points in the submitted 2018 bid book and the current prices on the FIFA ticketing platform.
