Alright, so I figured since the 2026 FIFA World Cup registration is a big deal, I should probably get on that sooner rather than later. I heard the link was live, so I decided to just jump in and see what the process was actually like.
First Step: Finding the Right Place
My first move was to just open up my laptop and start searching. I didn’t want to mess around with any shady sites, so I went straight to the official source. It took a couple of clicks to navigate to the right page, but it was pretty obvious once I found it. The main page had a big banner about the 2026 event.
Clicking the Registration Link
I saw the button that said something like “Apply Now” or “Register.” I clicked it, and it loaded a new page. This is where the real stuff started. The page asked me to create an account first. I already had one from a previous tournament, but I figured I’d start fresh just to see the whole process. So I hit the “Create New Account” option.
Filling Out the Forms
This part was straightforward but a bit tedious. They asked for all the usual stuff:
- Personal Info: Full name, date of birth, country. Easy.
- Contact Details: Email address and phone number. Double-checked these for typos.
- Account Security: Had to create a password. You know the drill, needs capitals, numbers, the whole thing.
I just took my time and filled in each box one by one. No rush.
The Tricky Part: Choosing Your Category
After the basic info, there was a section about what you’re applying for. It wasn’t just one thing. There were options for tickets, hospitality packages, and even volunteer applications, I think. I was mainly interested in the general ticket lottery, so I selected that. You gotta read the descriptions carefully so you don’t pick the wrong thing.
Review and Submit
Once I filled everything out, the site showed me a summary page. I spent a good five minutes scrolling through it, making sure all the information was correct. A misspelled name or a wrong digit in the phone number could cause headaches later. When I was sure it was all good, I clicked the big “Submit” button at the bottom.
And Then You Wait
A confirmation screen popped up immediately, and I got an email in my inbox a minute later. The email basically just says they got my application and that I’m in the system now. The whole thing, from start to finish, took me about 15 minutes, and that was with me being super careful. It’s really not complicated if you just follow the steps on the screen. The key is just to not overthink it and have your basic info ready.
