FIFA on Thursday published official prices for the Colombia-Portugal group match at the 2026 World Cup, confirming steep costs for Colombian fans who want seats to the June 27 game in Miami.
Tickets for the Hard Rock Stadium match are priced in three main categories on FIFA’s platform: Category 1, at US$700 (about 2,600,000 Colombian pesos), Category 2 at US$500 (about 1,900,000 pesos), and Category 3 at US$265 (about 1,015,000 pesos), according to the federation’s sale portal and local reporting.
FIFA has opened the third sales phase, in which fans must register, select matches and categories, and enter a lottery; successful applicants are charged automatically. The Colombian federation urged supporters to wait for official windows to avoid inflated prices on the secondary market, but warned that availability for marquee matches will be extremely limited.
The official prices for Colombia’s World Cup Group game against Portugal follow a surge in the resale market
The official prices follow a surge in the resale market after the tournament draw placed Colombia and Portugal in Group K. The Athletic reported resale “get-in” prices for the June 27 Miami match jumped from under US$400 before the draw to more than US$2,000 in the hours after the schedule was announced, at one point briefly approaching US$3,000, before settling near US$2,200. The Athletic said that was a roughly 514% increase for that fixture on secondary sites.
Resale listings showed far higher figures in Colombian pesos for top sections: Category 4 tickets listed around 8,834,793 pesos (about US$2,326); Category 3 about 8,240,779 pesos (about US$2,169); Category 2 about 10,265,248 pesos (about US$2,701); Category 1 about 12,689,591 pesos (about US$3,339); and VIP options exceeding 20 million pesos (more than about US$5,263) on sites such as StubHub and SeatGeek, local outlets reported.
Colombia was drawn into Group K alongside Portugal, Uzbekistan, and the winner of an intercontinental playoff (Democratic Republic of Congo, Jamaica, or New Caledonia). The schedule for the group includes:
June 17: Portugal vs. intercontinental playoff (Houston) and Uzbekistan vs. Colombia (Mexico City).
June 23: Portugal vs. Uzbekistan (Houston) and Colombia vs. intercontinental playoff (Guadalajara).
June 27: Colombia vs. Portugal, 7:30 p.m. local time (Miami); Uzbekistan vs. intercontinental playoff, 7:30 p.m. (Atlanta).
Before the draw, tickets for the Miami site had been trading around US$400 (roughly 1.5 million pesos), according to local reports; the confirmed fixture propelled demand and secondary-market spikes that now place the Colombia-Portugal match among the most expensive group games, behind only the World Cup semifinals and final. So, tickets for the Colombia-Portugal match are the most expensive of the first round.
FIFA has warned that it will adjust prices in later official sales phases under a “variable pricing” strategy and reminded fans that the federation’s official ticketing channels are the only guaranteed source of legitimate seats. Colombian football authorities reiterated that buyers watch for the federation’s announcements and the December sales window to avoid paying resale premiums.
