2026 World Cup: Up to 6,400 dirhams per ticket, a cold shower for Moroccan fans

It is a natural selection by money that is announced in the United States. The prices to follow the Atlas Lions during the next World Cup have just been released and the bill is exorbitant. For the expected clash against Brazil, prices are soaring, causing the anger of fans who feel excluded from the party.

It will take breaking the piggy bank to hope to see Morocco challenge the Seleção on June 13, 2026 at the MetLife Stadium. Tickets for this prestigious match are reaching new heights: count on nearly 6,428 dirhams (about 665 euros) for a Category 1 ticket. Even the most "affordable" tickets in Category 3 do not fall below the 2,433 dirhams (250 euros) mark, a prohibitive entry price for the average fan.

The other group stage matches offer little respite for the wallet. To attend the match against Scotland in Boston, you will have to pay between 2,020 dirhams (210 euros) and 5,509 dirhams (570 euros). The match against Haiti in Atlanta, although the cheapest of the lot, remains a luxury with tickets starting at 1,652 dirhams (170 euros) and climbing up to 4,591 dirhams (475 euros) for the best views.

Beyond the amounts, it is the very sales system that is worrying. FIFA has implemented dynamic pricing, causing prices to fluctuate according to demand, coupled with a lottery that will automatically debit the lucky winners.

If Morocco manages to reach the round of 16, the bill will increase even further. Premium seats could then reach 7,000 dirhams (665 euros). An inflation that makes people grind their teeth, while the demand to see the semi-finalists of the 2022 World Cup remains explosive.
