More than 140,000 tickets have been requested for the final due to take place on 18 December 2022 at Lusail Stadium in Qatar, and over 80,000 for the opening match.

During this first sales period, which finishes on 8 February 2022 at 1pm Doha time, fans are able to submit their ticket applications at any time.

In this initial phase, it makes no difference whether applications are submitted on the first day, the last day or any time in between, as all tickets will be allocated following the closing of the ticket application period.

In cases where the number of tickets applied for exceeds the available ticket inventory for the domestic or international market, tickets will be allocated by a random selection draw process.
