Which agencies are authorized by FIFA?
FIFA works exclusively with official agencies to prevent scams and price gouging. For the 2026 World Cup, the leading agency is MATCH Hospitality, the only one globally authorized to sell hospitality packages and premium experiences. But there are also authorized regional agencies that offer packages with flights, hotels, and regular tickets.
What types of agencies are there?
Agencies are divided into two types: hospitality agencies (VIP, access to lounges, catering) and fan package tour agencies (flights, hotels, and tickets). MATCH has a presence in more than 60 countries and operates with official sub-distributors in Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
MATCH Hospitality – globally authorized by FIFA
Poggio Travel (Mexico) – official packages for Mexicans
PDC Travel (Argentina) – partner agency with Match in South America
Roadtrips (Canada/USA) – premium personalized experiences
Asatej (LatAm) – packages for fan groups and companies
Fun fact: at Qatar 2022, MATCH sold more than 280,000 hospitality packages, with prices ranging from $950 USD to $34,000 USD per match in the VIP area. The key is to always check the official FIFA website to see who the authorized resellers are in each country. Buying from elsewhere can be risky and often results in fraud or counterfeit tickets.
What do the 2026 World Cup packages include?
2026 World Cup packages can vary greatly depending on the type of experience, but most include at least accommodation, tickets, and transfers. Some full packages also offer sightseeing tours, culinary experiences, and access to exclusive areas inside the stadium.
Types of experiences for all budgets
From the most economical "Fan Experience" packages to the ultra-VIP "Executive Lounge," there are options for all tastes.
You can also create customized packages: choose only the group stage, the round of 16, or stay until the final. For example, Roadtrips offers a "semi-final + final" package in the USA starting at $18,000 USD with a 5-star hotel, premium tickets, and backstage experiences. Meanwhile, Poggio Travel offers packages starting at $3,000 USD to see two matches in Mexico, including a 4-star hotel and visits to Teotihuacan or Guadalajara. Important: Tickets are not sold separately in these packages. If you book through an agency, the package is complete. If you only want individual tickets, you will need to register for the FIFA presale, which opens in 2025.When and how to book your spot
