Fans from across the globe are set to experience a star-studded football extravaganza, taking place between 26-31 March in Qatar, that will feature Spain, Argentina, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Serbia in six high-profile matches.

Tickets for the eagerly awaited tournament go on sale  today.

The centrepiece Finalissima Qatar 2026™ will feature an epic showdown between European champions Spain and South American champions Argentina at the Lusail Stadium on 27 March. This is the first time that Qatar is hosting this prestigious international fixture, reaffirming its position as a global sports capital, as the country continues to gain recognition for its renowned legacy of hosting mega-sporting events. 

The much-anticipated fixture will see the return of reigning world champions and CONMEBOL Copa América 2024 winners Argentina to the iconic Lusail Stadium – where they lifted the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ title – this time to face the UEFA EURO 2024 champions, Spain. Fans attending the Finalissima Qatar 2026™ will witness a once-in-a-lifetime generational showdown, with Argentina’s legendary Messi set to face Spain’s rising star Lamine Yamal.

The Qatar Football Festival will also bring together hosts Qatar, Serbia, as well as continental giants Saudi Arabia and Egypt, in a series of thrilling matches, offering participating nations valuable preparation to measure their readiness and assess their capabilities ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026™.

Fans can purchase up to four tickets for each match and will receive confirmation via their registered email. All fans attending a match will need their own ticket, including infants.

All tickets will be digital and will be made available on the Road To Qatar official ticketing app closer to the match date. Tickets are non-refundable.

Tickets include accessible seating options for disabled fans. Disabled fans wishing to request accessible seats can do so by sending an e-mail to accessibility.tickets@sc.qa.

Throughout the festival, fans will also be treated to a variety of entertainment and cultural activities. 

Fans are requested to purchase tickets only through www.roadtoqatar.qa – the official ticket platform for Qatar Football Festival. Tickets purchased from any other unauthorised resale platforms are subject to cancellation.

All three venues are connected by the Doha Metro, allowing fans to utilise Qatar’s state-of-the-art public transport network.

For international fans, exclusive travel packages, including a round-trip flight, accommodation and a match ticket (CAT 1 or 2), are available through Qatar Airways and Visit Qatar, the marketing and promotional arm of Qatar Tourism.
