FA+ Members who apply for tickets via a FA Access Code are not guaranteed tickets, as the number of ticket requests may exceed the ticket allocation available. If there are more applications than tickets, on a match by match consideration, a ballot (random selection draw) will be conducted for each applicable match. You can apply for tickets for all matches but being successful in one match does not guarantee success for all matches.
Fans under the age of 18 must have a parent/guardian above the age of 18 who is registered as an FA+ Member in order to apply for tickets. Anyone under the age of 18 can be added to an application as a guest of an FA+ Member.

FIFA will provide Football Australia with a variable percentage of tickets for each of the CommBank Socceroos matches (group stage and play-off) based on net stadium capacity.
Every FA+ Member can apply for up to 2 tickets (one Access Code will allow an FA+ Member to apply for up to 2 tickets). Applications will be made via the FIFA ticket portal exclusively for FA+ Members.

Is 2 years old or younger on the day of the match, and
Is no taller than 34 inches (about 86 cm), and

If your child meets all three criteria, they can enter without their own ticket (but cannot occupy their own seat). You can also bring only one baby in arms per ticket holder.
If your child does not meet the “baby in arms” criteria, then they must have their own ticket to enter the stadium.

FA's allocation is only for CommBank Socceroos matches. FA+ Members also have the opportunity to request conditional tickets for the CommBank Socceroos potential play-off matches, including the Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and Final/Third Place Game. Conditional tickets will only be issued if the CommBank Socceroos advance.
Conditional Supporter Tickets (CST) – Individual match tickets available for each of the play-off matches that could be played by the CommBank Socceroos. CSTs are conditional on the CommBank Socceroos qualifying for the match, otherwise the ticket purchaser will receive a refund to the payment card used (minus FIFA admin/processing fees).
Please note that the FIFA ticketing portal online order page will not automatically conduct checks on limits when you submit your request. Instead, the request submitted is checked after the sales window has concluded in combination with all other requests received. Please take care not to exceed the stated combined household limits when submitting your request either through this phase or any earlier or later ticket sales phases through FIFA.
Yes. Anyone who applies for a ticket to follow the CommBank Socceroos for matches in the play-off rounds will be applying for a conditional ticket, which will only be valid if the CommBank Socceroos advance. Applicants will be required to use a payment card to pay the full amount for all tickets up front during this sales phase. Should the CommBank Socceroos fail to advance to a stage of the tournament where someone has purchased a ticket, then the ticket purchaser will receive a refund to the payment card used.
Yes but NOT by using your FA+ Member Access Code. Fans should visit the FIFA World Cup official ticketing platform at FIFA.com/tickets to apply for non-CommBank Socceroos matches.
FA+ Members will be able to apply for tickets in three categories/price levels. The FA Access Code will give applicants the opportunity to choose which category or categories of tickets they prefer but not allow any more specifics (like section, row, seat) beyond this. FIFA will offer the option to request adjacent seats to another group or purchaser at different stages of the application and buying journey. You will only be able to request to sit with other successful applications from the Football Australia allocation.
FA+ Members will be given fixed ticket pricing during the Advanced Sales Phase, and this will be the only time that FA issued Access Codes will be valid. FIFA does not offer family, child, concession or any other discounted ticket prices in any category.
After the Advanced Sales Phases application window has concluded, ticket prices for all other sales phases will become variable.
FIFA’s ticketing policy generally prohibits refunds unless matches are cancelled. For more information, please visit the FIFA ticketing website.
FIFA will launch an official ticket resale platform where fans may be able to resell tickets. Details will be shared closer to the tournament.
Soon after the ticket application window for FA’s allocation of tickets closes at 11:00 ET (17:00 CET) on 13 January, the FIFA World Cup Ticketing Office will contact all applicants directly to confirm whether or not their application for tickets was successful. FA will also be asked to confirm the eligibility of all applications received as part of its allocation. It is imperative that the FA+ Member first name, surname, DOB and email address exactly matches your Fan ID first name, surname, DOB and email address.
A reminder on Football Australia ticket allocation eligibility from FA+ FAQ’s:
Q: Can I still have the opportunity to access Football Australia’s FIFA World Cup 2026™ ticket allocation if I live outside of Australia?
A: Yes, but only if you are an FA+ member and an Australian citizen.
Q: Can I access the ticket allocation if I live in Australia but am not an Australian citizen?
A: Yes, if you are an FA+ member and a permanent Australian resident.
Q: Can I access the ticket allocation if I am not an Australian citizen or resident?
A: No. While non-citizens and non-residents can still purchase FA+ and enjoy its benefits, they are not eligible for access to Football Australia’s FIFA World Cup 2026™ ticket allocation. Priority is given to Australians living in Australia or abroad, and to permanent residents.
Should you be successful in your application for tickets (partial or full), your payment card will be immediately charged the full amount noted during the application process (including the cost of conditional tickets).
We strongly recommend using a payment card with an expiry date of at least 12 months. This ensures that any Conditional Tickets can be refunded to the same card used during your application.
