Group B's matchday-three closer in Seattle could decide the third-place picture and any remaining knockout-stage hopes for both nations. Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar tickets cover Match 52 of the 2026 World Cup, with kick-off at 12:00 local Pacific Time at Lumen Field on Wednesday, 24 June 2026. Sergej Barbarez's Zmajevi face Julen Lopetegui's Maroon in their first competitive meeting, after a small senior head-to-head record that includes a 2010 friendly draw and earlier Qatar wins listed by some historical databases. Edin Džeko leads Bosnia's attack in what could be his final World Cup campaign, while Akram Afif and Almoez Ali drive the Qatar forward line.

The match falls inside the closing window of the World Cup 2026 group stage and is the only Group B fixture played at Lumen Field. The Seattle venue is listed at 65,123 for tournament use, subject to final configuration, which makes seat choice and verified availability important for late buyers. The fixture draws Bosnia and Herzegovina supporters, Qatar travellers, US-based neutral fans and Pacific Northwest football buyers into the same matchday window.

Bosnia and Herzegovina arrive at this fixture in the closing matchday with Džeko, Sead Kolašinac, Ermedin Demirović and a younger midfield group giving Barbarez a blend of experience and fresh tournament energy. The Zmajevi qualified for their second World Cup finals appearance after 2014, and the Seattle fixture could decide whether a third-place route remains open. Džeko remains the all-time top goalscorer and most-capped player in BiH football history, while players such as Ermin Mahmić and Kerim Alajbegović add a newer layer to the squad story.
For Qatar, the storyline is the contrast with the 2022 home tournament, where the Maroon became the second host nation to exit in the group stage and the first host to lose all three group matches. Julen Lopetegui took the head-coach role in May 2025 after stints with Spain, Real Madrid, Sevilla and West Ham United, and the qualifying campaign closed with a 2-1 win over the United Arab Emirates in October 2025 to secure the slot. Akram Afif leads the attacking line, Almoez Ali provides the centre-forward option, and Boualem Khoukhi gives Qatar experience through the spine.
Capacity is the third pressure point. Lumen Field's tournament capacity is listed at 65,123, subject to final configuration, with lower and upper bowls plus a strong club product for premium buyers. The fixture does not carry a host-nation premium, but matchday-three stakes can move demand sharply once Group B results are known. Buyers should treat supporter-end claims cautiously and use listing notes, block numbers and delivery method to decide whether a seat fits their matchday plan.
Yes. Federation membership is not a precondition for attendance at this fixture. The primary-sale routes for World Cup 26 group fixtures run through the random selection draw windows, supporter packages tied to the Bosnian Football Federation and the Qatar Football Association and host-city allocations released closer to kick-off. None of those channels guarantees a seat for the Group B closer in Seattle, and most of them involve sealed-bid mechanics, time-limited buying windows and capped per-buyer quantities. The combined Bosnian travelling, Qatari travelling, US-domestic and global neutral demand was always going to clear those allocations within the first round of selection.
The verified resale marketplace is the realistic alternative when the primary windows close out. 1BoxOffice aggregates listings from sellers who have either won draws, secured club routes through their own federation channels or are reselling unused supporter-package inventory. Every listing carries the 150% money-back guarantee, which covers non-delivery, late delivery and ticket-not-as-described scenarios. Buyers checking out for Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar tickets through 1BoxOffice deal with a single price line, no hidden federation tier and no membership friction.
The live 1BoxOffice page currently shows Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar as a Request Tickets fixture, so this page does not publish fixed public price floors. That is the safer approach for a match where seller inventory, category supply and hospitality availability may change before publication. Buyers should use the live listing to check the current request status, then confirm category, quantity, delivery method and any seat-together notes before submitting details.
| Category | Typical location | Live availability | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cat 4 | Upper tier behind the goals, end blocks | Shown live when listings are active | Lower-priced entry and supporter-end atmosphere |
| Cat 3 | Upper tier longside or lower tier behind the goals | Shown live when listings are active | Elevated longside view or close-up goalmouth angle |
| Cat 2 | Lower tier longside, non-central blocks | Shown live when listings are active | Close to the action without paying the central premium |
| Cat 1 | Lower tier longside, central blocks | Shown live when listings are active | Halfway-line view at Seattle Stadium |
| Hospitality | Suites, club lounges and premium seats with food | Shown live when packages are active | Hosted matchday with premium access on the Group B closer |
Five factors shape the eventual price curve: the matchday-three context, Bosnia and Herzegovina's Džeko-led demand, Qatar's travelling support, Lumen Field's tournament capacity and the amount of verified inventory released close to the fixture. The strongest buying approach is to monitor the live listing, request seats early for larger groups and avoid relying on older third-party price floors that may no longer match the 1BoxOffice page.
Lumen Field is a multi-tier bowl with a partial canopy roof that covers much of the seating bowl while keeping the stadium open to the Seattle skyline. For World Cup 2026, Lumen Field is listed as Seattle Stadium in some tournament communications, with natural grass prepared for match requirements during the tournament window. The venue opened in 2002 and has long been known for Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders FC matchday noise. For a stand-by-stand breakdown, see the Lumen Field tickets page; for category overlays, jump to the Lumen Field seating plan.
| Area | What it suits | Pricing bracket | General guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower tier longside central | Tactical analysts, halfway-line purists, premium buyers | Cat 1 | Strongest sight lines in the venue and a preferred area for buyers who want the most balanced view |
| Lower tier longside non-central | Buyers wanting close-up action without the centre premium | Cat 2 | Good rake, proximity and a useful compromise between view and price |
| Upper tier longside | Travelling fans wanting the broad tactical view | Cat 3 | Clear full-pitch coverage from higher rows under the partial canopy |
| Behind the goals | Supporter-block atmosphere, flags and vocal sections | Cat 3 / Cat 4 | Check listing notes carefully because supporter-end language may vary by seller |
| Hospitality lounges | Hosted matchday, business guests, families seeking comfort | Hospitality tier | Club product, lounge access, catering and a ticketed seat in a defined premium area |
| Supporter type | Best approach |
|---|---|
| Bosnia and Herzegovina supporters | Look for listings described as Bosnia and Herzegovina supporter allocation, nearby end-block inventory or seats close to travelling-fan sections. The safest buying route is to check the seller notes, block number and row details rather than assuming that every behind-the-goal seat is part of a dedicated supporter area. |
| Qatar supporters | Qatar supporters should use the same approach: prioritise listings with clear supporter-allocation notes, nearby end-block descriptions or seller comments that match the desired atmosphere. Buyers travelling from Doha or the wider Gulf should also check delivery timing before completing the request. |
| Neutral buyers | Lower or upper longside seats are the cleanest option for neutral buyers who want a mixed-fan environment. Cat 1 and Cat 2 longside seats usually provide the best balance of sight line and separation from the most vocal end sections. |
| Hospitality option | Typical buyer | Main appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Suite product | Premium corporate guests, agency hosting | Hosted space, dedicated service and a premium matchday environment |
| Club lounge | Couples and small groups buying for the matchday experience | Lounge access before and after the match, with seats in a defined premium block |
| Premium seat with hospitality | Buyers prioritising sight lines but wanting hosted catering | Strong seat location plus access to food, drink and hospitality facilities where included |
| Group entertainment package | Companies hosting six or more guests, family groups | Grouped seating and a more managed experience for a matchday-three fixture |
Lumen Field's premium areas are useful for buyers who want a hosted matchday without relying on end-block atmosphere. Because the live fixture currently uses Request Tickets, hospitality availability should be checked on the listing page rather than copied from older price ranges. Buyers should review what is included, where the ticketed seat is located and how mobile delivery will work before confirming the request.
| Delivery type | What to check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket transfer | World Cup 2026 ticketing is mobile-first. Confirm that your 1BoxOffice account email matches the email used for transfer and that the receiving smartphone can access the required ticket app or wallet before matchday. |
| Mobile app access | Tickets are not treated as downloadable email PDFs for entry. Do not rely on screenshots or photos of QR codes, because mobile-ticket guidance states that screenshots and photos are not valid for entry. |
| Hospitality mobile access | Hospitality buyers should check whether lounge access, seat details and any wristband or accreditation instruction are sent through the same mobile-ticket flow or through a separate fulfilment note. |
| Order support | Use your order reference, registered email and phone number if support needs to confirm delivery details close to kick-off. Keep photo identification available for security checks and any premium-area verification. |
Bring a passport or government photo identification for security checks. Lumen Field operates a clear-bag policy and metal detectors at every gate. Leave bulky bags, professional cameras and unsealed liquids at your accommodation, and arrive at least 75 minutes before kick-off to clear the bag-check perimeter without missing the warm-up. Seattle June middays can be cool with intermittent rain, so layered clothing and a waterproof shell are sensible for the matchday journey.
1BoxOffice has been a verified resale marketplace since 2006 with a 150% money-back guarantee on every listing. The customer team takes calls, emails and live chat in English and Arabic. The eight steps below cover the fixture-specific buying flow for the Group B closer at Lumen Field.
Step1
Choose your fixture
Open the Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar fixture page and confirm the kick-off time, venue and date. The match runs at Lumen Field on Wednesday, 24 June 2026 at 12:00 local Pacific Time. Cross-check your travel itinerary against this kick-off time, and factor in matchday road closures around Occidental Avenue South and the Pioneer Square approach when planning arrival.
Step2
Set your category and budget
Use the category filter to view Cat 1 through Cat 4 and hospitality. The pricing table earlier on this page sets out typical resale ranges. Lock your maximum spend before scrolling listings, because the marketplace shows live availability and prices can move several per cent in either direction during the final 14 days, particularly if the matchday-two results sharpen the group-decider stakes.
Step3
Pick your seats and quantity
Filter listings by quantity (1, 2, 3, 4 or more) and toggle the seats-together filter when buying for a group. Listings show block, row and seat where the seller has shared full details; some lower-tier longside listings show block-and-row only at this stage, and the exact seats are confirmed at fulfilment.
Step4
Review the listing and delivery method
Each listing carries a delivery method (mobile transfer, e-ticket PDF, hospitality wristband or will-call) and a delivery deadline. For Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar, mobile-transfer listings typically deliver between 48 and 24 hours before kick-off. Hospitality listings deliver wristband collection details one to three days out.
Step5
Sign in or register
First-time buyers should create an account with the email address that will receive ticket transfers. Returning buyers sign in with the same email used on previous orders. Keeping the email consistent matters for mobile-transfer fixtures, where the tournament app pulls the recipient address directly from your account record.
Step6
Enter buyer and billing details
Add the matchgoer's name, contact phone, billing address and a card with international authorisation enabled. UK and EU cards may need a temporary travel notification to clear the payment processor. Add a backup contact phone if the lead buyer is travelling on the matchday and may have limited reception around the venue.
Step7
Confirm and pay
Review the order summary, including taxes and the per-order delivery surcharge where applicable. Hit confirm, and you receive an email with the order reference within minutes. The 150% money-back guarantee activates the moment payment clears.
Step8
Track delivery
Use the order-status page to track order progress through to fulfilment. The status updates as the seller confirms the listing, prepares delivery and dispatches tickets. Customer service handles any queries via live chat, phone or email in English and Arabic right up to kick-off.
The buyer pool for this fixture splits into four broad travel groups. US-based buyers from Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and the wider Pacific Northwest drive local demand. Bosnia and Herzegovina supporters include travellers from Sarajevo and the diaspora across Europe and North America. Qatari travellers from Doha and the wider Gulf form another clear segment, especially for buyers combining Seattle with earlier Qatar group fixtures. The fourth group is a neutral football audience drawn from the UK, the EU and North America with cross-border bookings across several Group B matches.
For non-US passport holders, attendance in Seattle requires either an approved ESTA under the Visa Waiver Program, where eligible, or the correct US visitor visa. Bosnian passport holders generally need a US visitor visa. Qatari citizens who meet Visa Waiver Program requirements should apply for ESTA before travel, while travellers who are not eligible for ESTA should apply for the correct visitor visa well in advance. Confirm passport validity, transit rules and any onward travel requirements before booking flights.
Bosnia and Herzegovina return to the World Cup for the second time in their independent history, after a Brazil 2014 group-stage appearance. Sergej Barbarez took charge in 2024 and has built the team around experienced leaders and younger players who came through the 2026 play-off run. Džeko remains the country's all-time top goalscorer and most-capped player, returning for his second World Cup finals appearance after featuring in 2014. Around him, Sead Kolašinac, Ermedin Demirović, Benjamin Tahirović, Armin Gigović, Ermin Mahmić and Kerim Alajbegović give the squad a Europe-based core with different age profiles and roles.
The realistic target is to compete for a round-of-32 place. Bosnia and Herzegovina's path through Group B is difficult because Canada has host-nation seeding and Switzerland bring recent knockout-tournament experience, but a strong result against Qatar could keep the Zmajevi alive through the third-place route. Barbarez's setup can lean on compact defending, quick transitions and Džeko's penalty-box presence, with the Seattle fixture potentially becoming a decisive final group-stage match for the veteran striker.
Qatar arrive at their second consecutive World Cup, after the 2022 tournament they hosted, where the Maroon became the second host nation to exit in the group stage and the first host to lose all three group matches. Julen Lopetegui took charge in May 2025 after stints with Spain, Real Madrid, Sevilla and West Ham United. He closed the qualifying campaign with a 2-1 win over the United Arab Emirates in October 2025 to secure the slot. Akram Afif, the 2023 Asian Cup top scorer, leads the attacking line, with Almoez Ali providing the centre-forward option and Boualem Khoukhi adding senior experience.
The realistic target is the round of 32. Qatar's path through Group B is demanding because Canada has host-nation backing, Switzerland brings a recent European knockout pedigree, and Bosnia and Herzegovina arrive with a Džeko-led storyline. Lopetegui's setup leans on possession, wide combinations and quick links into Afif and Ali. The Seattle fixture is Qatar's matchday-three closer and could decide whether the Maroons are still alive for a knockout route.
Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar do not have a deep senior rivalry, which makes the 2026 meeting in Seattle feel more like a fresh tournament story than a familiar repeat. The clearest modern record between the two sides is the 10 August 2010 friendly, which finished 1-1. Some historical ledgers also list two Qatar wins in January 2000, both by 2-0 margins, but older friendly records can vary by archive.
That limited history gives this Group B a clean competitive edge. Bosnia and Herzegovina bring a Džeko-led side chasing a knockout route, while Qatar arrive with Akram Afif and Almoez Ali trying to turn matchday three into a qualification chance. With no previous World Cup meeting between the nations, the Lumen Field fixture will set the first major-tournament benchmark between them.
| Head-to-head detail | Record |
|---|---|
| Clearest modern meeting | 10 August 2010, Bosnia and Herzegovina 1-1 Qatar, friendly |
| Additional archive records | Some ledgers list two Qatar 2-0 friendly wins in January 2000 |
| Competitive meetings | No competitive senior meeting clearly recorded before World Cup 2026 |
| World Cup meetings | None before the 2026 Group B fixture in Seattle |
| Fixture meaning | A first major-tournament meeting with potential knockout-stage implications |
Group B pairs Canada, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Switzerland and Qatar across three matchdays from 12 June to 24 June 2026. The Canadian opener at BMO Field is the first men's World Cup match on Canadian soil, and the Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar matchday-three closer at Lumen Field runs in parallel with the Switzerland vs Canada Vancouver fixture.
| Date | Match | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Friday 12 June 2026 | Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina | BMO Field, Toronto |
| Saturday 13 June 2026 | Qatar vs Switzerland | Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara |
| Thursday 18 June 2026 | Switzerland vs Bosnia and Herzegovina | SoFi Stadium, Inglewood |
| Thursday 18 June 2026 | Canada vs Qatar | BC Place, Vancouver |
| Wednesday 24 June 2026 | Switzerland vs Canada | BC Place, Vancouver |
| Wednesday 24 June 2026 | Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar | Lumen Field, Seattle |
Bosnia and Herzegovina play Qatar on Wednesday, 24 June 2026 at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington. Kick-off is at 12:00 local Pacific Time, which is 15:00 Eastern Time, 20:00 in the United Kingdom and 22:00 in Saudi Arabia. The match is the matchday-three closer for both sides and the only Group B fixture hosted at the Pacific Northwest venue.
You do not need a federation membership to buy through 1BoxOffice. The verified-resale marketplace aggregates listings from sellers who already cleared primary-sale routes, including the random selection draws, supporter packages and host-city windows. Buyers pay a single price per ticket, see the seat block and row up front and benefit from the 150% money-back guarantee on every order.
Edin Džeko remains Bosnia and Herzegovina's senior attacking reference point and all-time leading scorer. He is part of the current World Cup squad picture, but final selection rests with Sergej Barbarez, and team news normally lands around 60 minutes before kick-off. Buyers focused on Džeko should treat this as a potential final group-stage World Cup appearance rather than a guaranteed farewell match, because Bosnia and Herzegovina could still advance from Group B.
The live 1BoxOffice listing currently shows Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar as Request Tickets, so this page does not publish a fixed public price floor. Availability, category choice and hospitality access should be checked on the live fixture page before submitting a request. Buyers should review the seat category, quantity, delivery method and seat-together notes before confirming their details.
Tournament categories run Cat 1 to Cat 4 plus a hospitality tier. Cat 1 is lower-tier longside central, Cat 2 is lower-tier longside non-central, Cat 3 is upper-tier longside or lower-tier behind the goals, Cat 4 is upper-tier behind the goals and the supporter ends. Hospitality covers pitchside suites, club lounges, premium seats with hospitality access and group entertainment packages.
Yes. Lumen Field offers four hospitality formats: pitchside suites for premium corporate buyers, club lounges for couples and small groups, premium seats with hospitality for buyers prioritising sight lines and group entertainment packages for parties of six or more. The NFL baseline suite count makes inventory broader than at the Mexican venues. Late releases tend to land 14 days out.
Lumen Field is listed at 65,123 for tournament use, subject to final configuration. The stadium opened in 2002 and is the home of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders FC. The venue uses the Seattle Stadium clean name in some tournament communications and is preparing a natural-grass match setup for World Cup 2026 requirements.
Most travellers entering the United States need either an approved ESTA under the Visa Waiver Program or the correct visitor visa. Bosnian passport holders generally need a US visitor visa. Qatari citizens who meet Visa Waiver Program rules should apply for ESTA before travel. Check passport validity, transit rules and any onward travel requirements before booking flights.
World Cup 2026 ticketing is mobile-first. Buyers should expect mobile transfer or mobile-app access rather than downloadable email PDFs. Screenshots and photos of QR codes are not valid for entry, so make sure the recipient's email, smartphone wallet and required app access are ready before matchday. Hospitality buyers should also check any separate lounge-access instruction attached to the order.
The Qatar Football Association supporter block sits at the north end of Lumen Field, behind the goal line. Travelling Qatari fans cluster in Cat 4 north end blocks, supplemented by the Gulf-resident expatriate community across California and the Pacific Northwest. Cat 3 upper north corner is the mid-priced fallback. Bosnian supporters concentrate at the south end behind the opposite goal.
Children of any age require a ticket. Babes-in-arms policies do not apply at this tournament. Hospitality areas may apply higher minimum ages on a venue-by-venue basis, particularly where licensed alcohol service is in operation. Check the specific listing notes for any age restrictions before booking. Adults accompanying minors must produce identification on entry.
Every listing on 1BoxOffice carries a 150% money-back guarantee. The guarantee covers non-delivery, late delivery and ticket-not-as-described scenarios. If a listing fails to deliver as described, the buyer receives the original ticket cost plus a 50 per cent top-up as compensation. The guarantee activates the moment payment clears and runs through to matchday entry.
Delivery and attendee-detail changes depend on the order status, ticket type and seller fulfilment stage. Contact customer support as soon as possible if the recipient email, phone number or attendee name needs to be corrected. Changes are easier before mobile transfer begins, while late changes close to kick-off may require extra verification to protect the buyer and the seller.
Bring a passport or government-issued photo identification. Hospitality entry, will-call collection and fan ID checkpoints all require matching identification. Mobile-transfer ticket holders may also be asked to show identification matching the tournament app account. Carry a printed backup of your booking reference and a screenshot of your ticket QR in case of phone battery or signal issues.
Earlier booking protects the central seat-cluster supply for the Group B closer. Cat 1 longside central seats and pitchside hospitality clear first, often four to six weeks before kick-off. Cat 4 inventory is steadier, and lower-priced listings often appear inside the final fortnight as casual sellers list unused tickets. Wait too long, and you are exposed to the matchday-week price surge that follows matchday-one and matchday-two results in Group B.
Each fixture is a separate listing and a separate order on the marketplace. Buyers planning a multi-match trip should add each fixture page to their basket in turn and check out together where the marketplace allows combined billing. Group B fans typically pair Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar with the matchday-one Qatar vs Switzerland fixture at Levi's Stadium on 13 June or the matchday-two Switzerland vs Bosnia and Herzegovina fixture at SoFi Stadium on 18 June.
1BoxOffice prices in pound sterling by default and supports payment in major currencies, including US dollar, euro, Qatari riyal, UAE dirham and Saudi riyal. Card processors handle currency conversion at posted exchange rates. Buyers wanting to lock the rate before the matchday-week surge can switch their account currency in settings before completing checkout to avoid late conversion drift.
Tickets remain valid for the rescheduled date if the tournament organisers reschedule the fixture. If the fixture is cancelled outright with no replacement, the 150% money-back guarantee covers the buyer for the listing price. Buyers receive notification through the order-status page and the registered email address as soon as a rescheduling decision is published.
Lumen Field sits in the SoDo neighbourhood of Seattle, immediately adjacent to T-Mobile Park and just south of Pioneer Square. Matchday transport options include Sound Transit Link Light Rail to Stadium station, King County Metro bus routes along Occidental Avenue, the Sounder commuter rail at King Street Station, ride-share drop-off zones outside the security perimeter and limited paid parking on-site by pre-booking. Allow 60 to 75 minutes of travel time on matchday because the local road network restricts vehicle access in the two hours before kick-off.
Customer support can help with order status, delivery timing, mobile-transfer questions, attendee-detail updates and matchday entry concerns for Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Qatar. Keep your order reference, registered email address and phone number ready when contacting the team. Support is available in English and Arabic, which helps both international buyers and Qatar supporters travelling from the Gulf.
