FIFA World Cup Ticketing Update for Scotland Supporters Club (SSC) Members

The Scotland Supporters Club (SSC) has now received the data from tournament organisers, FIFA, for all members who have competed the FIFA World Cup 2026 ticket application process for Scotland's matches.

As expected, all three of Scotland's group stage matches are over-subscribed, therefore a ballot will take place for these three games using the loyalty points system, following the Final Deadline of Tuesday, 13 January. 

Based on the current volume of applications, the majority of Scotland's potential knock-out fixtures are under-subscribed, (Round of 32, Round of 16, Quarter-Final, Semi-Final, 3rd Place Play-off, Bronze Final and Final), meaning that all members who apply would currently be successful in receiving tickets for these matches - aside from the potential Round of 32 match which is over-subscribed in the Supporters Value (Category 3) tier.

Below, we have outlined the current applications, alongside the number of points that will guarantee a successful ticket application in each category for each match. Please note that this is only based on current numbers and may change. The SSC expect to issue further correspondence prior to the final deadline of Tuesday, 13 January, subject to us receiving additional data from the tournament organisers. 

If Members are going to change their applications, based on this guidance, we would advise them to do this in the next 48 hours if possible, as this will allow us time to receive further data from FIFA and offer final guidance at the end of this week. 

Please note, this data only applies to SSC Members who applied on the FIFA Portal using an access code provided by the SSC. This is totally separate from any application made by a supporter in the Random Selection Draw on the FIFA Portal.

Accessible Tickets 

Unfortunately, FIFA have not yet provided us with exact numbers of how many easy access and wheelchairs tickets we will receive in each category. However, the data received shows that we are oversubscribed and we have received significantly more accessible tickets applications than we currently have accessible SSC Members.

Therefore, it is important to note that only Members who are registered with the SSC as having accessibility requirements will receive these tickets. Anyone who may have selected an accessible ticket in error should re-apply as they will not be successful.

We also understand these allocations will be limited so, if easy access is not a necessity, we would advise Members to select a different category.

Supporters Entry (Category 4) Tickets

We have also now received further information from FIFA about the Supporters Entry (Category 4) tickets which were made available following the opening of the PMA ballot.

Following the final deadline, the SSC will allocate these to the members with the highest amount of loyalty points who have applied for Supporters Value (Category 3) tickets for each match. Members do not need to cancel or amend their application. 

This will be done via an access code which will allows supporters to purchase a Supporters Entry (Category 4) ticket, while their original Supporters Value (Category 3) application will be cancelled. 

Please note that only those who have applied for Supporters Value (Category 3) tickets will be considered for these Supporters Entry (Category 4) tickets. Members who anticipate that they will meet the required points threshold but have applied for Supporters Premier (Category 1) or Supporters Standard (Category 2) would need to amend their application should they wish to receive a Category 4 ticket. 

We are also aware that there was a small window in which it was possible to apply for the Category 4 tickets on the FIFA System. We would advise any supporters who filled in this application that it will be declined and they should re-apply. 

Group Stage Matches

Below, we have outlined the total applicants for each match, as well as the current points totals that would be successful at this stage.

It is important to note that if a Member misses out on a Supporters Value (Category 3) ticket, they can not then upgrade to a Supporters Standard (Category 2) following the closure of the application window. Therefore, we recommend that anyone whose points total falls below the current points level for successful application to re-apply for a different category if they want to increase their chances of being successful.

Haiti v Scotland (Saturday, June 13 - Boston Stadium)

Members who have 16 points or fewer who have applied for Supporters Value (Category 3) tickets may wish to re-apply for Supporters Standard (Category 2) or Supporters Premier (Category 1), and also select the option that they would be willing to move down if required. 

Members who have 14 points or fewer who have applied for Supporters Standard (Category 2) may wish to re-apply for Supporters Premier (Category 1) and also select the option that they would be willing to move down if required. 

Please note this changing of application does not guarantee a successful ticket application as numbers are subject to change prior to the Final Deadline.

Scotland v Morocco (Friday, June 19 - Boston Stadium) 

Members who have 16 points or fewer who have applied for Supporters Value (Category 3) tickets may wish to to re-apply for Supporters Standard (Category 2) or Supporters Premier (Category 1), and also select the option that they would be willing to move down if required. 

Members who have 12 points or fewer who have applied for Supporters Standard (Category 2) may wish to re-apply for Supporters Premier (Category 1) and also select the option that they would be willing to move down if required.

Scotland v Brazil (Wednesday, June 24 - Miami Stadium) 

Members who have 16 points or fewer who have applied for Supporters Value (Category 3) tickets may wish to re-apply for Supporters Standard (Category 2) or Supporters Premier (Category 1), and also select the option that they would be willing to move down if required.

Potential Knock-Out Matches

Round of 32 (TBC)

Scotland's potential Round of 32 match (outlined below) is the only potential knock-out match in which any categories are over subscribed.

Members who have 6 points or fewer who have applied for Supporters Value (Category 3) tickets may wish to re-apply for Supporters Standard (Category 2) or Supporters Premier (Category 1), and also select the option that they would be willing to move down if required. 

Please note this changing of application does not guarantee a successful ticket application as numbers are subject to change prior to the Final Deadline.

Round of 16, Quarter-Final, Semi-Final, Bronze Final and Final 

All of Scotland's other potential knock-out matches are currently undersubscribed and therefore all applicants would be successful at this stage. Please note that these tickets will only be received in the event that Scotland reach that stage - if Scotland do not, the tickets would be refunded by FIFA (subject to refund fee)
