"This overwhelming response from supporters reflects the passion that the world feels for soccer. There is no doubt that we will make history in North America by bringing together people from all over the planet in an unprecedented celebration of unity and top-level soccer", he added.
FIFA stressed that the figure is equivalent to 3.4 times the total number of spectators accumulated in the 22 editions already held since 1930 (964 matches), which illustrates the leap in scale that this World Cup organized by the United States, Mexico, and Canada will have.
This random draw phase, which began on December 11, will run until January 13 and can be managed from the official FIFA website. Once it concludes, the draw that will allocate the first tickets will be held; those who are not successful will have new opportunities in upcoming sales rounds.
