In that window of time, the governing body of world football assigned a total of 1.2 million locations, mostly requested from the host emirate and with Argentina as the first foreign nation with an advantage over Mexico, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, England, India, Saudi Arabia, Brazil and France, which completed the top 10 places.
The World Cup will be played from November 21 to December 18 in Qatar, being the first Arab organizing country in history after winning the tender on December 2, 2010.
“The start of the ticket sales phase for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 has generated immense demand around the world. Fans from all corners of the globe requested 1.2 million tickets in the first 24 hours”, reported FIFA on its website.
“For the final, which will take place on December 18, 2022 at the Lusail Stadium, more than 140,000 seats have been requested, while for the opening match there are more than 80,000,” FIFA detailed.
The euphoria experienced in Argentina since the conquest of the 2021 Copa América in Rio de Janeiro against Brazil, with Ángel Di María’s goal, added to the possible last role of Lionel Messi, led the fans to move on the first day of requesting tickets.
In fact, compared to Russia 2018, the start of the demand improved it, since on that occasion it was placed third in the order but over time it ended up falling to seventh place.
