Following the conclusion of the second round of ticket sales, fans will have one more chance to purchase tickets during the third and final round of sales, which FIFA termed a “random selection draw sales period.”

The third and final window for the sale of tickets began on Tuesday, July 5, at 10 am (that is 5 am ET).

At 10 AM BST on 16 August, it will close (5 am ET).

A waiting list will be in place if there is high demand for the tickets that are still available.

To transfer or resell tickets, FIFA must expressly approve, which will be disclosed in the form of a Ticket Transfer and Resale Policy.

In other words, there’s a potential that the tickets you purchase from a source other than FIFA.com will be bogus or that FIFA would postpone the event without offering a refund.

FIFA World Cup 2022 Qatar

After the event in South Korea and Japan in 2002, this will be the second World Cup held in Asia and the first World Cup ever to be contested in the Arab world.

This World Cup will be played over a shorter period of time, roughly 28 days, because of the extreme summer heat in Qatar, taking place from late November to mid-December. 

This will be the first World Cup that will not be taking place in the months of May, June, or July.

The 1954 FIFA World Cup was held in Switzerland, which is more than three times larger than Qatar and only needed to host 16 teams instead of the current 32. Qatar is the smallest country ever awarded a FIFA World Cup.

In addition, Qatar became just the second nation (aside from hosts of the first two World Cups, Uruguay, and Italy) to receive a FIFA World Cup despite never having qualified for an earlier edition. 

Japan received the co-hosting rights to the 2002 World Cup in 1996 despite never having qualified for the finals, though they later did qualify for the 1998 World Cup.

The nation wants the stadiums to be a reflection of Qatar’s history and culture while also meeting the requirements for sustainability, legacy, comfort, and accessibility.

FIFA and Qatar’s Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy invite ticket holders to assist in reducing their carbon footprint during the competition as part of their commitment to reducing and eliminating all carbon emissions related to the FIFA World Cup 2022.

FIFA encourages fans to hoist a “Green Card for the Planet” before the match to raise awareness of the need to protect the environment.

The official symbol for FIFA was introduced on September 3, 2019, at simultaneous events held at the Doha Tower, the Katara Cultural Village Amphitheatre, Msheireb Downtown Doha, and Zubarah. 

It was created by the Lisbon-based branding agency Brandia Central. It is created to resemble the championship trophy, the number “8,” and the infinity symbol, signifying the “inter-connected” occasion and the number eight.

It also conjures images of shawls to represent the tournament’s winter scheduling and has waves that resemble dunes in the desert. The wordmark for the symbol uses kashida, which is the practice of intentionally lengthening specific Arabic script characters for emphasis.
