Finalissima Tickets

Finalissima Tournament Information

Renowned international soccer showdown.

UEFA and the Continental "Copas" of CONMEBOL present a unique opportunity for the continents of Europe and South America to collide on the soccer pitch. The granddaddy of all such matchups — the Finalissima — now commands the kind of respect and attention that ensures its participants' legacies are cemented in the intense and hallowed 90 minutes of play.

These champions of their respective continents bring their stars, their tactical geniuses, and their pride to the world stage. All of the actors, observers, and partisans involved also carry with them the continental psychologies and philosophies that inform each beautiful passage of play. The contestants play with urgency, knowing what is at stake and what a victory will mean for each individual in the grand scheme of things. That rebirth cleared the way for the 2026 edition, with UEFA and CONMEBOL dedicated to holding the tournament regularly while keeping to its roots. Evolving from the Artemio Franchi Cup — a trophy named after a former UEFA and Italian Football Federation president, who died in 1983 — it carries forward the idea of putting the champions of Europe and South America, the two strongest footballing continents, on a collision course.

Finalissima History

Everything in this competition is stripped down; no second leg, no safety net. It is contested under intense playoff-style rules, with every moment intensified and every tactical switch seeming fraught with consequence. At Wembley, the Albiceleste's resounding 3-0 win displayed their supremacy, with goals from Lautaro Martínez, Ángel Di María, and Paulo Dybala utterly dismantling the reigning European champions. That victory heralded Argentina's World Cup conquest a few months later, sealing their reputation as the planet's number one national team.

Italy's last big success story in an intercontinental championship came in 1999, when they won the Artemio Franchi Cup — the predecessor to what modern fans know as the Finalissima.

Finalissima Format

The Finalissima is a single-match showdown between the champions of Europe (UEFA European Championship winners) and South America (Copa América winners). There are no second legs or safety nets — just one intense 90-minute battle, with extra time and penalties if needed to determine a winner. This winner-takes-all format creates an electrifying atmosphere where every moment counts and tactical decisions are magnified under the spotlight of this prestigious intercontinental clash.

Experience Finalissima live!

Be there to witness history at Lusail Stadium — an architectural marvel where two footballing continents collide. Claiming a ticket means that you have staked a presence in an unforgettable sea of 88,966 fans — and hearing the cheers in two languages split between European tactical appreciation and South American fervor makes for an audio-visual spectacle TV simply cannot capture.

The pre-match feeling on the ground is palpable. The game happening between talented teams, and the razor-thin margins on which matches too often hinge, create a gripping narrative. You follow that narrative and become a part of it. Then you return home having lived it, rather than having seen it recounted on some TV network.

One of the great benefits of the upcoming Finalissima being hosted in Qatar is the utilization of a truly world-class infrastructure. The best seats in the house are right next to the pitch; they come with a premium, but they take you as close to the action as you can be without actually being out there. Many of these seats also come with bonus amenities: everything from in-seat waitstaff to pre- and postgame cocktail parties. The next tier of seating isn't quite that extravagant, though it still puts you close to the pitch and offers a very good view. The upper levels take you even further away from the field, but in a big stadium, they at least offer decent sightlines and an experience well worth the price.

100% Authentic Tickets with Buyer Protection

Your ticket is 100% authentic and worth every Euro; it undergoes multiple verifications. The buyer protection plan goes far beyond merely authenticating a ticket's legitimacy. Should anything unexpected happen that affects an event, the ticket purchase receives a level of protection that is almost never offered through more conventional channels. The company uses an industry-standard mix of encryption and secure servers to protect the information shared by its customers. In every interaction, the experience for the fan "in the moment" is put first.

Ticombo's commitment to transparency means there are no hidden fees that pop up during checkout and that the operation of the entire platform is, in essence, a ticketing secure service — that is, a service a reasonably prudent person could trust. When any questions arise regarding the authenticity of these tickets — a very rare occurrence given the genre's well-established verification methods — the buyers have recourse to a comprehensive resolution pathway.

Every transaction is bank-secured, using encryption to fend off potential hack attacks or interception. Storefronts don't hold on to the payment info, either — they use a sort of token that is valid for only a very short time. There's no reasonable way to circumvent the secure permit process.

Ticket availability follows a predictable pattern: they disappear as soon as they're released to the most dedicated of supporters and purchasers of travel packages. Those tickets are then listed on the secondary market as people make other plans or travel package deals change. People who persist in monitoring the market regularly find optimal purchasing windows at which to secure quality seats at more favorable prices.
