The FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021™ will be hosted in six striking stadiums and will offer fans the chance to attend more than one match per day during the group stage, while getting a glimpse of what to expect one year later at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™.

During the first FIFA pan-Arab football tournament, spectators and competitors alike will experience the welcoming hospitality of Qatar as 16 teams from across the Arab world take the pitch between Tuesday, 30 November and Saturday, 18 December 2021. The stunning Al Bayt Stadium, inspired by traditional Arab tents, will host the opening match between Qatar and Bahrain, as well as the final.

Fans wishing to witness the action up close will be able to sign up for tickets as of tomorrow, Tuesday, 3 August. Starting at 12:00 AST/11:00 CET, Visa cardholders will have an exclusive opportunity to apply for tickets via FIFA.com during the Visa Presale for the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021.

During the first period of sales phase 1, from Tuesday, 3 August to Tuesday, 17 August at 12:00 AST/11:00 CET, Visa cardholders will be given priority to submit their ticket applications. During this sales period, it will make no difference whether they submit their applications on the first day, the last day or any time in between, as all applications will have the same chance of being successful. In cases where the number of tickets applied for exceeds the available inventory, tickets will be allocated by a random selection draw process. All successful, partially successful and unsuccessful applicants will be duly notified of the outcome of their applications by mid-September.

Sales phase 1 will conclude with the period from Tuesday, 28 September to Tuesday, 12 October, during which tickets will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Finally, the last-minute sales phase will start on Tuesday, 2 November and run until the end of the tournament.

A selection of affordable tickets will be available, with prices ranging from QR 25 for a category 4 ticket (residents only) for the group matches to QR 245 for a category 1 ticket for the final. Fans will have the opportunity to buy individual match tickets or team-specific ticket series. A full overview of the sales phases and ticket prices will be available on FIFA.com/tickets.

Visa, the Official Payment Services Partner of FIFA, is the preferred payment method for fan ticket purchases for the FIFA Arab Cup Qatar 2021.
