#170 - World Cup Ticket Window Closes...What's Next?

The latest application window for 2026 World Cup tickets has closed…so what’s next? We discuss what the process looks like from here on Episode 170. The numbers are in from FIFA, and it’s a big one: they report that over 500 million ticket requests were made during the latest application window. That makes the odds super slim that fans will get all the tickets that they want for the World Cup. So, for those supporters who entered through the Supporter Draw or for fans who applied through FIFA, we discuss what the next steps will be in finding out whether you’re one of the lucky ones who will grab the $60 tickets or the ones that will have a much lighter wallet with the full price tickets. After the break, we discuss the reported 2026 away jersey that was leaked last week by FootyHeadlines. We discuss what it looks like and what it’s trying to accomplish as we dive fully into this pivotal year of soccer. Don’t forget to follow us on Bluesky, Twitter, and YouTube!
