The next phase of ticket sales for the 2026 FIFA World Cup is set to open Thursday.
The teams, dates and start times for the seven matches in Houston were announced this weekend.
The Random Selection Draw will begin on Thursday, December 11 at 10 a.m. CT.
It will remain open through January 13.
This is the third phase of ticket sales, as nearly two million tickets have already been sold.
Fans with an existing FIFA ID should log in using those credentials and then enter the Random Selection Draw, even if they have entered previous ticket draws.
For those who do not have an existing FIFA ID, they must create an account.
Fans will be able to select which matches, ticket categories and number of tickets per match they would like to buy.
Those picked will get an email and will be automatically charged for their tickets in February.
