50 days until FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019™: tickets to watch the stars of tomorrow now available

With only 50 days to go until hosts Brazil take on Canada in the opening match of the FIFA U-17 World Cup™ on 26 October in Brasília’s Estádio Bezerrão, Visa cardholders still have an exclusive opportunity to secure tickets with a 50 per cent discount until Monday 9 September 2019 at 12:00 (midday) Brasília time.

Tickets for the first-ever FIFA U-17 World Cup to be hosted by Brazil start at five Brazilian real and will be available in two categories, both of which will provide access to the two matches played in the respective double-header.

Public sales start on 9 September at 12:00 (midday) Brasília time

As of 9 September at 12:00 (midday) and until the day of the final on 17 November, all fans will be able to apply for tickets on a first-come, first-served basis via FIFA.com/tickets. All tickets purchased by 27 September will benefit from early-bird prices.

While the only official platform on which to secure tickets will be FIFA.com/tickets, fans will also be able to apply for tickets over the counter, in the host stadiums from 23 October until 17 November.

“Every kid dreams of playing for their country at a World Cup. It’s a unique opportunity and they have to enjoy it, but they also have to be focused and do a good job because not everyone gets to be a world champion,” commented Brazil’s goalkeeping great and FIFA Legend Júlio César, one of the football icons that the world first became aware of at the FIFA U-17 World Cup along with Ronaldinho, Neymar, Toni Kroos, Celestine Babayaro and Cesc Fàbregas, among many others.

“I can only encourage Brazilian and international fans to secure their tickets and support a new generation of football stars.”

Besides the Estádio Bezerrão in Brasília, Goiânia’s Estádio da Serrinha and Estádio Olímpico as well as Vitória’s (Cariacica) Estádio Kléber Andrade will stage the youth showpiece.
