FIFA reveal date for first release of World Cup tickets
The first ordering window of several ticket-selling phases, and initial ballot for tickets, will begin that day.
At that stage only the hosts USA, Mexico and Canada, know when and where their group matches will be - but not their opposition.
The full group stage fixture list will be discovered when the draw is made at the beginning of December. FIFA has not yet announced when and where the ceremony will take place.
Based on previous events tickets sold before the draw are likely to be both venue-specific (without knowing the teams involved in matches) and team-specific (before knowing where and when a team such as the Socceroos will play). National associations are also likely to have a batch of tickets to sell.
Australia, having qualified by beating Saudi Arabia in June, will be competing at the finals for the seventh time,
To be in with a chance of buying tickets for the tournament in the United States, Mexico and Canada, interested parties must create a FIFA ID on the federation's website.
Some 6.5 million visitors are expected at the World Cup. With 48 teams and 104 matches in three countries, it is the biggest edition to date.
Demand, especially for the matches involving top teams or the important knock-out round matches, will most likely exceed supply.
Some tickets have already been allocated. For example, FIFA offered combined tickets for the Club World Cup and the World Cup, no doubt to boost the sometimes sluggish sales for the recent team tournament in the US.
FIFA have not yet revealed whether they will use the dynamic pricing model utilised in the Club World Cup.

Lions' Gatland gun leaves lasting mark on Bronco Ben
Brisbane assistant coach Ben Te'o credits his stint as a player with the British and Irish Lions under legendary mentor Warren Gatland as life-changing in his new role. Te'o, who also played for Queensland in the State of Origin arena, had a stellar career in two codes as a player before embarking on his coaching dream. It was under Gatland, regarded as one of the greatest rugby coaches of all time, that Te'o toured New Zealand in 2017 in a three-Test series drawn 1-1. He played inside centre in the 30-15 win in the first Test against the All Blacks, and came off the bench in a 15-15 draw in the final Test. Te'o, who also played 18 rugby Tests for England, said Gatland and rugby league mastercoach Wayne Bennett, who he was assistant coach under at the Dolphins, shared a lot in common. "I'd always heard Warren Gatland was a great man manager and great at bringing teams together, and I had the opportunity to experience that and play the All Blacks, such an incredible tour to go on," Te'o told AAP. "At the time everyone feared them, but by the time we had been through our camps in New Zealand there was a real strong belief that we could get the job done. "Once I got into coaching myself, I used a lot of things I learned from Warren, and then once I started working with Wayne I saw the similarities between the two and why they were successful." Gatland taught Te'o plenty about the building blocks of success."One of the things that is really important in coaching is building team chemistry from the get-go, and Warren did a great job of giving the team free time to have a beer and socialise and build team camaraderie first. Wayne does that too," Te'o said."The second thing is being able to convince a team that they are going to win and how they will win. "I remember Warren talking about how we would beat the All Blacks and where we could catch them by surprise, what our strengths were and how the games would play out. When a coach talks like that you leave the room thinking 'we can do this'"We ended up sharing the trophy, but the Lions shocked the All Blacks after no one gave us a chance." Te'o never got to play the Wallabies on a Lions tour, but there are no regrets."To be honest, when you line up the tours against the Wallabies, Springboks or All Blacks I am taking the All Blacks," he said. "They were the best and had the biggest aura around them. They were two years off winning the World Cup for the second time in a row. There was nothing better." This year's State of Origin series has just been won 2-1 by the Maroons, and now the Wallabies take on the Lions in Brisbane on Saturday night, with the build-up at fever pitch. Te'o understands the enormity of the occasion intimately."My career is split in half between rugby league and rugby union. For me to reach those heights in rugby union is special," he said. "When I played State of Origin I thought that was the biggest thing I would ever experience. Once I went on a Lions tour I realised there is something else out there that is similar in terms of how big the build-up is and how much people get behind it. I was lucky to experience those two events."

West Coast Fever star Alice Teague-Neeld named in Australian Diamonds squad for first time
Alice Teague-Neeld's transition into a world-class wing attack has been recognised by national selectors, with the West Coast Fever star named in the Australian squad for the first time. Teague-Neeld joins Fever defender Sunday Aryang in the 18-player squad for the Diamonds' series against South Africa and New Zealand, beginning in October. It is the first time the 29-year-old has been named in a national squad, having been elevated off the back of being an invitee to the training camp for the past two years. The Fever duo joins West Aussies Courtney Bruce and Sophie Garbin in the powerhouse squad, while WA shooter Donnell Wallam has been invited as a train-on. Teague-Neeld has been rewarded for an outstanding season for the minor premiers, having led Super Netball for goal assists (315) and centre pass receives (292). It comes after she made the transition from goal attack, a position she was recruited to Fever from the now-defunct Collingwood back in 2019 before making the transition to the midcourt under coach Dan Ryan. Australian coach Stacey Marinkovich said Teague-Neeld had developed her game to another level to earn a maiden call-up. 'Alice has had two years as an invitee and she's really come into the environment and evolved those connections,' she told The West Australian. 'She's having another consistent year of a really high standard in Super Netball. She's putting up her hand, she's evolving things and she's really coach able. 'We've had some really great conversations as to how to keep growing her game in a Diamonds context as well as what she's doing on a Super Netball court.' Marinkovich was the coach of Fever when they recruited Teague-Neeld and isn't surprised that she has made the transition from a shooter to a midcourt star. 'Alice has incredible skills, she knows the game, definitely knows how to read the space out on court so it's definitely no surprise that she transitioned into wing attack,' she said. 'We saw potential in her as a young athlete and her coming to West Coast Fever, she's thriving, she's embraced every opportunity that she's got and it's great to see that transferring into a national environment.' Aryang is a staple of the Australian set up since she debuted in 2022, having been part of the 2023 World Cup gold medal winning side. Marinkovich said the defender had taken 'accountability for her performance out on court' to become one of the game's elite. 'She's really driving her own personal standard of how she goes about the game,' she said. 'I know she's really driven to the intensity that she brings out on court and I think you're seeing the reward of that. 'Her work-rate, her repeated efforts and her ability to get hand to ball particularly in this later part of the season has been phenomenal so I'm really excited to see how this is going to transition into the Diamonds.'
