Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
The fixture brings together two of the strongest MENA-region commercial draws in Group G. Egypt's travelling demand is built around Salah, the Egyptian diaspora in North America, and supporter routes through Cairo, Europe and the Gulf. Iran's demand is driven by Team Melli support across North America, including the Tehrangeles community and Iranian-Canadian networks. The World Cup 2026 ticketing window has left many buyers comparing verified resale options for this final group-stage night.
1BoxOffice is a verified secondary marketplace established in 2006, with a 150% money-back guarantee on every order. The platform supports English and Arabic customer service, which matters for both Egypt and Iran supporter pools routing via Cairo, Tehran, Europe and the Gulf. Below is the full breakdown of seat categories, request-led pricing, delivery, travel and matchday logistics for Seattle Stadium.

Salah versus Taremi is the central story. Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is Egypt's captain and the team's leading scorer in qualifying. Olympiacos forward Mehdi Taremi is included in Iran's preliminary World Cup squad and remains one of Team Melli's most recognisable senior attackers. Together, they give the fixture a strong MENA buyer profile without needing exaggerated claims about guaranteed knockout stakes.
Egypt's appeal is clear. Hossam Hassan's expected core is built around Salah, Omar Marmoush, Trezeguet, Mostafa Mohamed and Mohamed Elneny, with final tournament selections still subject to confirmation. Buy Egypt World Cup 2026 tickets on resale, and you are buying access to one of Salah's three group-stage fixtures.
Iran's appeal is sharpened by the matchday 3 setting. Ghalenoei's preliminary squad includes Mehdi Taremi and Alireza Jahanbakhsh, while Sardar Azmoun was left out of the 30-man preliminary group. Iran World Cup 2026 tickets draw demand from Team Melli supporters across North America, including Iranian-American and Iranian-Canadian communities.
Seattle Stadium adds the venue layer. The ground is a compact, loud and central downtown host with a tournament-facing capacity listed at 65,123, subject to final configuration. The simultaneous New Zealand vs Belgium fixture at Vancouver Stadium means Group G closes across two Pacific Northwest venues on the same evening.
Primary-sale routes through the tournament organisers' random selection draws allocated the bulk of inventory across the four price categories. The Egyptian Football Association and the Football Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran ran supporter allocation windows, but high-interest group matches can leave many non-members searching for resale access.
For most international buyers, resale is the practical route once primary windows close or show limited availability. 1BoxOffice aggregates verified seller listings and applies the 150% money-back guarantee on every order, with English and Arabic customer service through the buyer journey. The platform operates as a secondary marketplace, which is the correct distinction for a buyer comparing routes.
The live booking position for this fixture should be treated as request-led. The current listing status is Request Tickets, so this page avoids fixed resale floors and hard price promises until the live feed displays a confirmed public price. Buyers should compare seat category, delivery method, row notes and seller details before committing.
| Category | Typical location | Current pricing approach | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cat 4 | Upper deck, end zones and corners | Request Tickets | Lower-priced entry, family groups and neutral fans |
| Cat 3 | Upper deck, longside | Request Tickets | Best value for camera-side view and mid-budget buyers |
| Cat 2 | Lower deck, longside non-central | Request Tickets | Premium atmosphere close to the pitch and organised supporter groups |
| Cat 1 | Lower deck, longside central | Request Tickets | Halfway-line view and premium seat location without hospitality |
| Hospitality | Club lounges, premium suites and package seating | Request package details | Corporate guests, premium experience buyers and all-inclusive entry |
Availability can shift quickly once matchday 1 and 2 results clarify the qualification picture. If Egypt and Iran both need a result, lower-bowl and longside seats are likely to move first. If the group position is already settled, buyers may see a more flexible request window for upper-deck categories.
Seattle Stadium (Lumen Field) is the home of the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders, and it operates as an open-air downtown venue. For tournament use, the venue is referred to as Seattle Stadium in match communications while still being known locally as Lumen Field. The pitch is set in a football configuration with a published tournament capacity of 65,123, subject to final configuration.
The lower deck wraps the pitch from end zone to end zone and normally carries the highest-demand longside inventory. The upper deck gives a steep, compact view that keeps the back rows closer to the action than at some larger venues. Check the Seattle Stadium seating layout before checkout and read each listing note for row range, view, delivery type and supporter designation.
| Area | What it suits | Pricing bracket | General guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lower tier longside central | Halfway-line, broadcast camera-side angle | Cat 1 | Best technical view and usually the fastest category to move |
| Lower tier longside non-central | Premium proximity at a lower price point | Cat 2 | Closest seats without the central-block surcharge |
| Upper tier longside | Tactical wide view of both penalty areas | Cat 3 | Balanced option for value and view |
| Behind the goals | Supporter-section atmosphere | Cat 4 | Check listing notes carefully for supporter designation |
| Hospitality lounges | Premium matchday experience | Hospitality | Request package details before checkout |
| Supporter type | Best approach |
|---|---|
| Egypt supporters | Egypt buyers should check each listing note for any supporter designation, block guidance or delivery restrictions. Egyptian-American and Egyptian-Canadian supporter groups are expected to create strong demand, but exact allocation blocks should not be assumed until ticket documents and seller notes confirm them. |
| Iran supporters | Iran buyers should follow the same caution. Team Melli demand is likely to be strong across North America, especially among Iranian-American and Iranian-Canadian communities, but supporter-specific areas can change by allocation and seller listing. |
| Neutral buyers | Longside Cat 2 and Cat 3 areas usually offer the safest balance of view and atmosphere. If you are not committed to either team, avoid buying seats marked for a specific supporter group unless you are comfortable sitting in that area. |
| Hospitality option | Typical buyer | Main appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Pitchside suite | Corporate hosts and premium experience buyers | Private hosting, premium catering and dedicated entrance where included |
| Club lounge | Senior management entertaining and premium leisure buyers | Lounge access paired with strong longside seat locations |
| Premium seat with hospitality | Individual buyers seeking a matchday upgrade | Premium seat location with package benefits listed by seller |
| Group entertainment package | Corporate groups of 8 to 24 guests | Group seating, hosting support and package services where available |
Hospitality should be treated as request-led until a package floor is visible in the live feed. Buyers should confirm what is included before checkout, including entrance type, lounge access, food and drink, parking, wristband collection and delivery timing. Package names can vary by supplier, so the listing note is the source of truth for each offer.
| Delivery type | What to check |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | The dominant delivery method for the tournament. Tickets transfer to the organisers' app between 7 and 14 days before kick-off. Match the email at checkout to your app account. |
| E-ticket PDF | Some listings include a PDF e-ticket alongside the app transfer. Save it to your phone and keep a printed backup. Cellular data at Lumen Field during peak ingress can stall app loads. |
| Hospitality wristband | Hospitality packages add a physical wristband collection at a dedicated VIP entrance. Bring photo ID and the package confirmation email. |
| Will-call collection | Reserved for a small minority of resale listings and most premium primary-sale rounds. Bring a matching photo ID and the original purchaser's name on the order. |
Photo ID matching the ticket name is required at entry. Lumen Field operates a clear-bag policy and walk-through metal detectors at every gate. Allow 50 to 70 minutes from the external gate queue to in-seat for this fixture, longer for hospitality routes that funnel through fewer entrances.
1BoxOffice is a verified marketplace established in 2006, with the 150% money-back guarantee on every order and English plus Arabic customer service for the MENA buyer base. The buyer journey for this fixture follows the same eight steps the platform uses across every World Cup 2026 listing.
Step1
Choose your fixture
Open the Egypt vs Iran listing page on 1BoxOffice. Confirm the date (26 June 2026), kick-off (20:00 Pacific Time) and venue (Lumen Field, Seattle) before clicking through to seat selection.
Step2
Filter by category and budget
Use the category filter to set Cat 4, Cat 3, Cat 2, Cat 1 or Hospitality. Apply a price ceiling to remove listings above your budget. The platform shows per-ticket and total prices with no hidden surcharges added at the next step.
Step3
Select seats together
For pairs, threes and fours, toggle the seats-together filter. Listings flag whether seats are adjacent, alternating or in the same row. For groups of six or more, contact the support team for a combined multi-listing block.
Step4
Review the listing detail
Each listing shows the block, row range, ticket type (mobile transfer or e-ticket), seller rating and any restrictions such as obstructed view or restricted resale. Read the details before locking in the order.
Step5
Create your account
If you have not used the platform before, create an account with the email address you will use for ticket delivery. Existing customers sign in. Account creation takes under two minutes.
Step6
Complete payment
Card payments (Visa, Mastercard), Apple Pay and Google Pay are accepted. The platform supports multiple currencies, including GBP, USD, EUR and AED. Currency conversion is applied at the network exchange rate at checkout.
Step7
Receive confirmation
A confirmation email arrives within minutes covering the listing summary, seller details, delivery method and expected delivery window. Save it; you will need the order reference at every step.
Step8
Track delivery
Use the track your order to monitor delivery status. Mobile transfers typically land in the tournament app between 7 and 14 days before kick-off. Customer support is available throughout for delivery queries.
The buyer pool clusters across several routes. Egypt supporters travel from Cairo through European and Gulf hubs before connecting to Seattle, while Iranian supporters outside Iran commonly route through Europe, Turkey or the Gulf. North American diaspora demand is also important, with Egyptian-American, Egyptian-Canadian, Iranian-American and Iranian-Canadian communities all feeding into the Pacific Northwest fixture.
Visa and entry requirements depend on passport, residency and personal circumstances. Egyptian and Iranian passport holders should check the current US visitor visa requirements with the relevant consulate before booking non-refundable travel. Dual nationals should travel on the passport required for US entry. Keep accommodation refundable where possible because matchday transport, ticket delivery and group-stage stakes can all shift close to the fixture.
Egypt qualified for their fourth World Cup as winners of CAF Group A, with Mohamed Salah central to the campaign. Hossam Hassan was appointed Egypt head coach in February 2024 and has built the side around Salah's leadership and attacking output. Until the final tournament squad is confirmed, the safest wording is to treat Egypt's group as an expected core rather than a fixed 26-man selection.
That expected core includes Salah, Omar Marmoush, Trezeguet, Mostafa Mohamed, Mohamed Elneny, Ibrahim Adel and Emam Ashour, subject to final selection. Egypt have reached the World Cup three times before 2026: 1934, 1990 and 2018. The team has never progressed beyond the group stage, which makes this final Group G fixture a potential pressure point if the first two results leave qualification open.
Iran qualified for their seventh World Cup through AFC qualifying under Amir Ghalenoei. The preliminary 30-man squad has been announced, with Mehdi Taremi and Alireza Jahanbakhsh included and Sardar Azmoun left out. Taremi is listed as an Olympiacos forward in the current squad context, so older club-context wording should not be used for this page.
Iran has reached the World Cup six times before 2026: 1978, 1998, 2006, 2014, 2018 and 2022. Team Melli has not yet progressed beyond the group stage. The 2026 route depends on taking points from Belgium, New Zealand and Egypt, with this matchday 3 fixture likely to carry strong final-night stakes if Group G remains open.
Checked public match records do not present one clean, universally agreed aggregate for Egypt vs Iran. The safest supported record is the 7 June 2000 meeting in Tehran, which finished Iran 1-1 Egypt, with Egypt advancing on penalties in the LG Cup. Public databases differ on whether to count penalty outcomes and on whether additional older fixtures should be included, so this page avoids an exact all-time win-loss total.
For ticket buyers, the important point is simpler: Egypt vs Iran has no previous World Cup finals meeting in the checked record. The 2026 match is therefore the first time the fixture appears on the World Cup group-stage schedule, which gives the page its tournament-specific demand rather than a long modern rivalry.
| Head-to-head detail | Total |
|---|---|
| Confirmed senior meeting in checked records | At least 1 |
| Best-supported result | Iran 1-1 Egypt, 7 June 2000 |
| Penalty outcome in 2000 record | Egypt advanced 9-8 on penalties in published match records |
| World Cup finals meetings before 2026 | 0 |
| First World Cup meeting | This Group G matchday 3 fixture, 26 June 2026 |
| Egypt all-time claim | Not stated because public records differ |
| Iran all-time claim | Not stated because public records differ |
| Most important ticketing context | First World Cup meeting, final group-night fixture and strong MENA demand |
| Source approach | Cautious public-record wording |
| Publish-safe note | Avoid unsupported four-match or 2022-friendly claims unless a stronger source is supplied |
| Date | Match | Venue |

Egypt vs Iran kicks off at 20:00 Pacific Time on Friday, 26 June 2026 at Seattle Stadium (Lumen Field) in Seattle, Washington. It is the Group G matchday 3 fixture and Match 63 of the tournament, played simultaneously with New Zealand vs Belgium at Vancouver Stadium. The venue uses a tournament-facing capacity of 65,123, subject to final configuration.
Without Egyptian Football Association or Football Federation Islamic Republic of Iran membership, primary-sale access can be limited once allocation windows close. 1BoxOffice provides verified resale listings and applies the 150% money-back guarantee, giving international buyers a secondary-market route when primary routes are unavailable or limited.
Mohamed Salah is Egypt's captain and remains central to Hossam Hassan's plans. Mehdi Taremi is included in Iran's preliminary World Cup squad and is one of Team Melli's most experienced forwards. Final selection still depends on fitness, training form and matchday decisions close to kick-off.
The live listing currently uses Request Tickets status, so fixed public floor prices should not be treated as confirmed. Buyers should request live availability, compare seat category and review the seller notes before checkout. Category, block, row range, delivery method and matchday demand will determine the final price shown for each available listing.
Four resale categories cover the seated bowl: Cat 1 for lower-tier longside central seats, Cat 2 for lower-tier longside non-central, Cat 3 for upper-tier longside and Cat 4 for the upper tier behind the goals and in the corners. Hospitality is a separate tier covering pitchside suites, Toyota Club access, premium-seat-with-hospitality packages and group entertainment bookings.
Hospitality may be available through request-led package listings. Buyers should confirm the exact inclusions before checkout, including lounge access, food and drink, entrance type, parking, wristband collection and delivery timing. Package names and benefits can vary by supplier, so the listing note is the source of truth.
Seattle Stadium, known locally as Lumen Field, has a tournament-facing capacity listed at 65,123, subject to final configuration. The venue is open-air and sits in Seattle's SoDo district. It is home to the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Sounders and is known for a compact, loud bowl design.
Egyptian passport holders require a B-1/B-2 visitor visa, applied for at the US embassy in Cairo, with appointment lead times currently running between 8 and 16 weeks. Iranian passport holders typically need a B-1/B-2 visitor visa with significant lead times and require third-country interview routing (Dubai, Yerevan, Istanbul) given the absence of US consular services in Iran. Egyptian-American and Iranian-American dual nationals should travel on the US passport for entry. Confirm current requirements at the relevant US embassy or consulate before travel.
Most tickets deliver via mobile transfer to the tournament organisers' app between 7 and 14 days before kick-off. Some listings come with an e-ticket PDF backup. Hospitality packages add a physical wristband collection at a dedicated VIP entrance on matchday. A small minority of listings deliver via will-call collection, requiring a matching photo ID.
Iran supporters should check each listing note for block guidance, supporter designation and any entry restrictions. Exact supporter locations can change by allocation and resale listing, so buyers should not assume a fixed end of the ground. Neutral buyers may prefer longside sections if they want a balanced atmosphere.
All attendees, including infants, require a ticket regardless of age. Lumen Field does not enforce a minimum age for general seated areas, but hospitality lounges with bar service apply an age-of-majority restriction for alcohol consumption (21 in Washington state). Travelling families should bring photo ID for over-16s and birth certificate copies for unaccompanied under-18s where applicable.
1BoxOffice applies a 150% money-back guarantee on every order. If the fixture is cancelled without a reasonable rescheduling, if the ticket fails to deliver, or if the seat does not match the listing as sold, the platform refunds 150% of the original ticket price. The guarantee is automatic and does not require additional cover purchase at checkout.
Attendee-detail changes depend on the delivery method and the rules attached to the seller listing. If your order has not yet been transferred, contact customer support with your order reference and the correct attendee information. Once a mobile transfer has been accepted, changes may need to be handled inside the tournament ticketing app.
Government-issued photo ID matching the name on the ticket is required at entry. For international travellers, this is the passport; for US-domestic attendees, a driver's licence or passport card is accepted. Hospitality packages add ID checks at the VIP entrance. If the ticket has been transferred to your name through the app, bring ID matching the receiving account.
Group G matchday 3 demand can change quickly once the first two results are known. If both teams still need a result, longside and lower-tier requests may tighten. If the group picture is lower pressure, buyers may see more flexibility in upper-deck categories.
The platform supports multi-listing baskets, so you can add tickets for Belgium vs Egypt, New Zealand vs Egypt, Belgium vs Iran or New Zealand vs Iran alongside this fixture in a single order. Each listing pays its own price, and the platform consolidates delivery tracking. If you are building a tournament pass across both teams, contact customer support for a coordinated booking.
The platform supports GBP, USD, EUR and AED at checkout, with Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay accepted across all currencies. Conversion is applied at the network exchange rate at the moment of payment. Buyers using cards billed in EGP, IRR, or other non-listed currencies will see the conversion applied by their card issuer.
If the tournament organisers postpone and reschedule the fixture, your ticket transfers to the new date. If the fixture is cancelled without rescheduling, the 150% money-back guarantee applies. Travel and accommodation costs sit outside the ticket guarantee and should be covered by separate refundable bookings or travel insurance.
Lumen Field sits in the SoDo district of downtown Seattle, with direct access from the Stadium Link Light Rail station (a five-minute walk from the venue) and connecting bus services from across the metropolitan area. The Link Light Rail runs from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac) to Stadium Station in approximately 40 minutes. Stadium parking opens 4 hours before kick-off and sells through pre-paid passes. Allow 45 to 60 minutes from arrival in the SoDo district to the in-seat position.
Customer support can help with order status, delivery timing, attendee details, payment questions and matchday access concerns. Keep your order reference ready when contacting the team. Support is available in English and Arabic for buyers who need help before the ticket transfer or on matchday.
