Buy Colombia vs DR Congo tickets for the World Cup 2026 Group K matchday-two fixture at Guadalajara Stadium (Estadio Akron) on Tuesday, 23 June 2026. Match 48 is listed on the live 1BoxOffice fixture feed at 21:00 local Mexico time, with the compact Zapopan venue giving this game a tighter inventory profile than the larger Group K dates in Houston and Mexico City.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
Resale activity is shaped by two clear buyer groups. Colombia bring James Rodríguez, Luis Díaz and a large travelling support into a Mexican venue with strong domestic football demand, while DR Congo arrives as a returning World Cup nation 52 years after their 1974 appearance. The World Cup 2026 resale market also gives this game a useful comparison point against Colombia's opener at Estadio Azteca and DR Congo's Houston fixture against Portugal.
1BoxOffice is a verified marketplace established in 2006, with every order covered by a 150% money-back guarantee and customer support in English and Arabic. This page covers Colombia vs DR Congo tickets in detail: request-only pricing status, Estadio Akron's compact two-tier seating breakdown, hospitality, delivery and matchday entry. Group K schedule context is included for buyers building a multi-fixture itinerary across Houston, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Miami and Atlanta.
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Fixture | Colombia vs DR Congo, Match 48, Group K |
| Date | Tuesday 23 June 2026 |
| Kick-off | 21:00 local Mexico time, aligned to the live 1BoxOffice fixture feed |
| Venue | Guadalajara Stadium (Estadio Akron), Zapopan |
| Capacity | Approximately 48,000 for tournament configuration |
| Round | Group stage, matchday 2 |
| Colombia head coach | Néstor Lorenzo |
| DR Congo head coach | Sébastien Desabre |
The fixture's draw rests on captain appeal and tournament narrative. Colombia bring James Rodríguez back to a senior World Cup twelve years after his Brazil 2014 Golden Boot, supported by Luis Díaz, Daniel Muñoz, Davinson Sánchez, Jhon Durán, Jhon Arias and Richard Ríos. DR Congo counter with captain Chancel Mbemba, Yoane Wissa, Cédric Bakambu, Théo Bongonda, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Noah Sadiki. The European league pedigree across both squads is meaningful, and Colombia World Cup 2026 tickets carry strong regional demand across the team's Group K schedule.
The diaspora demand mix is unusual for a CAF vs CONMEBOL matchday-two slot. Colombia's travel pool from Bogotá, Medellín and Cartagena routes into Guadalajara on direct and Mexico City-connection routes, while DR Congo World Cup 2026 tickets draw committed support from Congolese communities in Belgium, France, London, Toronto and the US East Coast. Mexican domestic neutrals add another buyer layer because Estadio Akron is the home of Chivas and one of the country's most recognisable club venues.
Group-table scenarios shape the pricing curve. Both sides will arrive with matchday-one results already known, which means this fixture can move quickly from a measured Group K meeting to a high-pressure qualification night. Estadio Akron's compact tournament profile sits around 48,000, keeping supply tighter than the Azteca opener and well below the two Group K fixtures at NRG Stadium in Houston.
Primary-sale routes for the 2026 tournament have run through three main channels: the random selection draw windows operated by the tournaments, supporter packages tied to each national federation and host-city allocations made through the World Cup 26 app. The matchday-two Group K slot at Estadio Akron has cleared multiple times oversubscribed on the random selection draws, and the federation supporter packages are reserved for members in good standing with the Federación Colombiana de Fútbol or the Fédération Congolaise de Football-Association. Buyers without that history are typically shut out of primary-sale tranches well before matchday.
The marketplace route is the practical alternative. 1BoxOffice aggregates verified resale inventory from federation members, hospitality partners and primary-sale allocation holders who can no longer attend, and lists every seat with row and section data where available. There is no federation membership requirement, no Colombian or Congolese ID check, and orders are complete in any major currency with the 150% money-back guarantee attached. For international buyers and the Mexican domestic audience picking up the matchday-two Chivas stadium slot, the secondary marketplace is the only realistic entry point once primary-sale windows have closed.
The live 1BoxOffice fixture page currently shows Colombia vs DR Congo as Request Tickets, so this page avoids publishing fixed resale floors until active inventory is visible. Buyers can still use the category guidance below to understand how seating usually differs at Estadio Akron, then compare live listings once the event card opens with available sections, quantities and delivery notes.
| Category | Typical location | Live pricing status | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cat 4 | Upper tier corners and behind the goals, upper-bowl cabeceras | Shown when live inventory appears | Lower-entry seating and vocal supporter areas |
| Cat 3 | Upper tier longside, sideline rows | Shown when live inventory appears | Elevated full-pitch view at moderate spend |
| Cat 2 | Lower-tier corners, sideline blocks wide of the halfway line | Shown when live inventory appears | Close-action sightlines and strong camera-side angles |
| Cat 1 | Lower tier longside central, between the 18-yard boxes | Shown when live inventory appears | Premium sightline and halfway-line view |
| Hospitality | Palco boxes, club lounges and premium suites with food and beverage | Subject to hospitality availability | Premium matchday experience with reserved entry |
Prices can change once 1BoxOffice inventory is active because category, row, seat-together quantity and delivery method all affect the final total. When the fixture is marked Request Tickets, buyers should submit interest through the live event page and compare exact listings only after verified inventory is available.
Guadalajara Stadium (Estadio Akron) is one of the more architecturally distinctive venues at the tournament. The volcano-shaped grass exterior gives way to a compact two-tier bowl that brings the upper rim noticeably closer to the pitch than the deeper three-tier bowls at Estadio Azteca or NRG Stadium. The pitch is laid lengthwise under the bowl, with the technical areas on the camera-side touchline and the supporter ends behind each goal. Estadio Akron sits at approximately 1,580 metres above sea level on the western edge of Guadalajara in Zapopan, which is meaningfully lower than Mexico City's 2,250 metres and a less demanding venue for player conditioning. The 21:00 kick-off places the game in cool evening conditions.
For a full overview of every section, sightline and access route at the venue, see Estadio Akron tickets and the interactive Estadio Akron seating plan.
| Area | What it suits | Pricing bracket | General guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower-tier longside central | Buyers prioritising sightline and camera-side angle | Cat 1 | Lower-tier preferential sections closest to the halfway line on the camera side |
| Lower-tier longside non-central | Buyers who want close-action but flexible budget | Cat 2 | Lower-tier sideline blocks wide of the halfway line, both camera-side and far-side |
| Buyers seeking full-pitch tactical perspective | Cat 3 | Upper-tier longside camera-side sections with full view of formation and shape | |
| Behind the goals | Vocal supporters and ultras-style atmosphere | Cat 4 | Lower-tier cabeceras behind both goals plus the upper-tier corner blocks |
| Hospitality lounges | Buyers wanting reserved entry, food and beverage | Hospitality | Palco-style boxes around the upper-tier ring, club lounges and premium suites with private entry |
| Supporter type | Best approach |
|---|---|
| Colombia supporters | Supporter allocations are confirmed fixture by fixture, so Colombia buyers should check the listing notes and final ticket instructions before choosing a section. Travelling Colombia fans who want a louder atmosphere usually prioritise behind-goal and corner blocks, while family groups often prefer longside seats with easier concourse access. |
| DR Congo supporters | DR Congo supporter allocations should also be checked against the final ticket instructions. Belgian, French and London-based Congolese supporters are likely to book together where grouped seats are available, but no public source confirms a fixed north or south cabecera allocation for this match. |
| Neutral buyers | Lower-tier longside and upper-tier longside camera-side sections are the safest pick for a neutral matchday experience. The Mexican domestic audience should populate those areas as well. Wearing either team's colours in opposing supporter blocks is permitted, but buyers should use common sense once the final allocations are visible. |
| Hospitality option | Typical buyer | Main appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Pitchside suite | Corporate buyers and ultra-premium individual purchasers | Field-level location, private entry, host service, full bar and dining |
| Palco box | Mid-premium individuals and small corporate groups | Reserved seat inside one of Estadio Akron's upper-tier palco boxes, served food and beverage |
| Premium seat with hospitality | Higher-spend individuals upgrading from Cat 1 | Cat 1 longside seat bundled with pre-match lounge access and matchday catering |
| Group entertainment package | Corporate clients hosting clients or staff | Block bookings, branded space options, all-inclusive food and beverage |
Hospitality inventory at Estadio Akron is meaningfully tighter than the seated bowl, simply because the venue's premium product was sized for Liga MX rather than tournament demand. The Mexican corporate pool plus the Latin American premium-travel cohort have already absorbed a substantial share of the available allocations across the Guadalajara matchday-two slot.
| Delivery type | What to check |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | Most tournament ticket fulfilment is mobile-led. If mobile transfer is shown on the listing, accept the transfer as soon as it lands and confirm the seat row and section against the original listing. |
| E-ticket or collection | Use e-ticket, collection or alternative delivery only where that option is clearly shown on the 1BoxOffice listing. Do not assume a PDF or collection route unless the seller's notes confirm it. |
| Hospitality delivery | Hospitality delivery can include separate matchday instructions, premium entry details or collection steps. Check whether food, lounge access, padded seating, separate entry or parking are included before checkout. |
| Final matchday instructions | Bring photo ID, keep your ticketing email active and follow the final venue instructions for bags, gate entry, transfer timing and any matchday collection desk. |
All buyers should bring photo ID, travel light and allow time for security screening at the perimeter gates. Tournament operations can differ from a normal Chivas match, so the final ticket instructions should be treated as the matchday source of truth.
1BoxOffice is a verified marketplace established in 2006, with every order backed by the 150% money-back guarantee and customer support in English and Arabic. The eight-step process below applies to Colombia vs DR Congo tickets and to every other World Cup 2026 fixture listed on the platform.
Step1
Choose your fixture
Open the Colombia vs DR Congo page and confirm the event card matches the date, venue and kick-off. The card lists the resale starting price in pounds sterling and shows availability across all categories once inventory populates.
Step2
Filter by category and budget
Set a price ceiling and pick the categories you want shown. Cat 4 to Cat 1 covers the seated range, with hospitality as a separate filter. Sort by lowest price or by seat-together count if you need adjacent seats.
Step3
Review seat detail
Click each listing to confirm the section, row and the supporter-section context. Listings carry the seller's full row and section data where available, plus delivery method and timeframe.
Step4
Add to basket
Add the chosen quantity to the basket. The basket reserves the seats for a short window while you complete checkout, which prevents another buyer from taking them mid-flow.
Step5
Sign in or register
Returning buyers sign in; new buyers create an account with email and a password. Account creation takes under a minute and stores your order history for future fixtures.
Step6
Enter buyer and delivery details
Add the lead-buyer name, contact email, mobile number and the billing address. For mobile transfer delivery, supply the email address tied to the World Cup 26 app or the primary-sale wallet.
Step7
Pay and confirm
Pay by Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The full order total, including service fees, is shown before you confirm. A booking confirmation lands in your email inbox immediately on completion.
Step8
Track your order through to delivery
Use the track order portal to monitor delivery status. Mobile transfers usually arrive in the final two weeks before matchday; e-ticket PDFs and hospitality wristbands are confirmed inside the same window.
The Guadalajara buyer pool segments into clear groups. Domestic Mexican buyers fill a meaningful share of the venue, with Estadio Akron's Liga MX-home identity pulling regular Chivas-stadium ticket-buyers into the tournament slot. Colombian travellers from Bogotá, Medellín and Cartagena are direct on flag-carrier and low-cost CONMEBOL routes via Mexico City or direct services. The DR Congo travel pool is split between Belgian and French-based Congolese supporters routing through Lisbon, Paris and Frankfurt, a London-based cohort flying via the same European hubs and a smaller Toronto and US East Coast cohort connecting through Dallas or Houston.
Check Mexico entry rules for your passport before travel, because visa-free entry, e-visa and consular visa rules vary by nationality and can change before June 2026. Colombian passport holders generally have a simpler route for short tourism stays, while DR Congo passport holders should confirm Mexican consular visa requirements before booking non-refundable travel. Buyers should also confirm refundable accommodation policies and check matchday transport options in advance because Guadalajara's western-suburb stadium-traffic load on a Tuesday evening kick-off is meaningful.
Colombia arrived in the United States, Mexico and Canada after a strong CONMEBOL qualifying campaign under Néstor Lorenzo. Los Cafeteros finished third in the South American qualifying table, briefly led the standings at one point in the cycle and beat Argentina during the qualifying run. James Rodríguez captains the side and is the key creative outlet; the supporting cast includes Luis Díaz, Jhon Durán, Daniel Muñoz, Jhon Arias, Davinson Sánchez and Richard Ríos. Lorenzo's Colombia plays a possession-leaning, transition-quick game with width through Díaz and Muñoz and a central spine led by Rodríguez.
Group K is a draw. Colombia will look to top. The Uzbekistan opener at Estadio Azteca on matchday one is the tone-setter, the DR Congo matchday-two fixture at Estadio Akron is the realistic key points opportunity, and the Portugal closer in Miami is the title-credentials test before the knockout phase. The realistic 2026 ceiling for Colombia is a quarter-final, with a semi-final possible if the bracket opens up; anything beyond that requires beating a top-three bookmaker favourite. The federation's commercial pitch for 2026 leans heavily on Rodríguez's tournament arc returning to a global stage twelve years after his Brazil 2014 Golden Boot.
DR Congo's return to the World Cup ends a 52-year wait. Sébastien Desabre took the job in 2022 and steered the Leopards through CAF Group B behind Senegal, then past Cameroon and Nigeria in the CAF play-off bracket before the 1-0 extra-time win over Jamaica in the inter-confederation final. Captain Chancel Mbemba leads from centre-back alongside Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Axel Tuanzebe in defence. The forward line carries the squad's marketability: Yoane Wissa, Cédric Bakambu and Théo Bongonda provide pace and finishing, with Noah Sadiki and Samuel Moutoussamy holding the midfield base.
The realistic Group K target is to stay alive for a round-of-32 place. The top two teams in each group progress, and third place may still be enough if DR Congo ranks among the eight best third-placed teams. Desabre has been clear that the Leopards will not be a tournament afterthought, and the squad's European league depth gives them a profile closer to a mid-tier qualifier than a simple returning outsider. A creditable result at Estadio Akron against Colombia would lift the broader perception of the team heading into the final matchday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
No senior men's meeting between Colombia and DR Congo was found in the checked H2H ledgers used for this edit. Because one unverified 2019 friendly is referenced in a small number of commercial databases, the safest publishable approach is to avoid overstating the rivalry and keep the table below focused on confirmed senior meetings only. If older-friendly archives confirm a fixture before publication, this section should be updated before the page goes live.

Colombia play DR Congo on Tuesday, 23 June 2026, with a 21:00 local Mexico time kick-off on the live 1BoxOffice fixture feed at Guadalajara Stadium (Estadio Akron) in Zapopan. It is Match 48 of Group K and the matchday-two fixture for both teams. Recheck the event feed before publication if the tournament schedule feed changes.
Primary-sale routes are limited to random selection draws and federation supporter packages, both of which require existing membership or successful draw entry. For most international buyers, the verified resale marketplace is the practical route. 1BoxOffice lists inventory from federation members, hospitality partners and primary-sale holders who can no longer attend, with row and section data shown on every listing.
Rodríguez is Colombia's captain and creative engine. The matchday-two fixture is a key points opportunity inside the group, and rotation is plausible if Colombia secured a comfortable win in the Uzbekistan opener, but Lorenzo's tactical pattern has been to keep Rodríguez in the starting eleven across consecutive fixtures when fit. Final team selection is confirmed in Lorenzo's pre-match press conference 24 hours before kick-off.
The live 1BoxOffice page currently shows Request Tickets for Colombia vs DR Congo, so there is no confirmed public price floor to publish. Category and hospitality pricing should be compared once verified inventory is visible. Buyers can still submit interest through the event page and review exact sections, quantities and delivery notes when listings open.
The fixture follows the standard tournament category framework of Cat 1, Cat 2, Cat 3 and Cat 4, plus separate hospitality products. Cat 1 covers the central lower-tier longside, Cat 2 the longside corners, Cat 3 the upper-tier longside and Cat 4 the cabeceras behind the goals plus upper-tier corner blocks. Hospitality is sold as a separate inventory pool, including palco-style boxes and premium suites.
Yes. Pitchside suite, palco box, premium seat with hospitality and group entertainment packages are available, subject to live inventory. Estadio Akron's premium product was sized for Liga MX rather than tournament demand, so the hospitality pool is meaningfully tighter than at the larger Mexican and US venues. Late-release tranches inside the final ten days are smaller than at the Group K closer in Miami.
Estadio Akron has a standard listed capacity of 49,813 and operates at approximately 48,000 for tournament football once supporter-section bands and broadcast zones are applied. It is the home of Liga MX side C.D. Guadalajara, also known as Chivas. The venue is the second-smallest at the 2026 tournament after BMO Field in Toronto, and the smallest of the three Mexican host venues.
Check Mexico entry rules for your passport before travel, because visa-free entry, e-visa and consular visa rules vary by nationality and can change before June 2026. Colombian passport holders generally have a simpler route for short tourism stays, while DR Congo passport holders should confirm Mexican consular visa requirements before booking non-refundable travel.
Delivery is listing-specific. Most tournament ticket fulfilment is mobile-led, but e-ticket, collection or hospitality delivery should only be used where that method is clearly shown on the 1BoxOffice listing. If mobile transfer is used, accept the transfer promptly and confirm the seat row and section against the original listing.
DR Congo supporter allocations are confirmed fixture by fixture, so buyers should check listing notes and final ticket instructions before choosing a section. Belgian, French and London-based Congolese supporters are likely to book together where grouped seats are available, but no public source confirms a fixed cabecera allocation for this match.
There is no formal minimum age for attendance, but every attendee aged two and over requires their own ticket. Children under two can be admitted as a lap infant in most non-hospitality categories. Unaccompanied minors are not permitted in any category, and hospitality areas with bar service apply standard Mexican adult-supervision rules for under-18 attendees.
The 150% money-back guarantee applies to every order. If tickets are not delivered as promised, are not valid for entry or are materially different from the listing, 1BoxOffice refunds 150% of the purchase price. The guarantee is the strongest in the verified resale category and underwrites every Colombia vs DR Congo listing on the marketplace, with no separate enrolment required.
Buyer details, attendee details and delivery details can usually be updated through customer support before final delivery, depending on the ticket type and transfer status. Once a mobile ticket has been transferred, some changes may need to be handled inside the receiving wallet or app. Contact support early if the lead buyer, delivery email or attendee details need to change.
Bring photo ID matching the lead-buyer name on the booking. A passport, driving licence or national ID card is all accepted. Hospitality and will-call collection require the same photo ID at the desk, plus the original order confirmation. Mexican entry separately requires the passport used at the immigration check plus the FMM tourist card or e-visa, where applicable.
The early-window pricing curve for matchday-two Group K games typically softens four to eight weeks before matchday as primary-sale wallets release inventory and then steepens inside the final ten days as supply tightens. The optimal book window for most buyers is six to four weeks out, before matchday-one results sharpen group-table maths. Hospitality late-release inventory inside the final ten days can carry a softer price than the early tranche.
Each fixture is a separate event on the marketplace, with its own listings, pricing curve and basket. Buyers building a multi-game itinerary across Colombia or DR Congo Group K matches should complete each booking individually. The track-order portal then groups orders under one buyer account, with a separate confirmation email per fixture.
Pricing is displayed in pounds sterling by default, and the site supports multi-currency display including US dollars, euros, Mexican pesos, UAE dirhams and Saudi riyals. Payment is processed by Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with the final charge converted at the prevailing rate by the card issuer. Buyers in MENA markets are supported by Arabic-language customer service.
If the fixture is rescheduled and played at a later date, tickets remain valid for the new fixture. If the fixture is cancelled outright and not rescheduled, the 1BoxOffice money-back protection refunds the purchase price. Guadalajara's evening conditions in June are typically mild; the most realistic in-day variable is a thunderstorm during the rainy-season window, which usually results in a short pause rather than a rescheduled fixture.
Estadio Akron is in Zapopan on the western edge of Guadalajara. Driving access is via the Avenida Vallarta and Periférico Norte ring road, with paid parking around the stadium campus. Public transit is limited compared to Mexico City, and most matchday traffic is by car or rideshare. Guadalajara International Airport sits to the south-east of the city; allow extra time on a Tuesday evening, given local traffic and the suburban venue location.
Customer service is available in English and Arabic through live chat and WhatsApp for Colombia vs DR Congo order questions. Support can help with seat-together checks, delivery timing, buyer-detail updates and last-minute mobile-transfer queries inside the final 48 hours before kick-off.
