Russians have started actively booking tickets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches, the interest of Russian travelers in the tournament's host countries has grown noticeably. According to the latest data, the number of flight bookings to the USA, Mexico, and Canada has increased more than ninefold compared to previous periods.
Experts note that fans are beginning to plan their trips in advance, despite the difficulties with logistics and visa processing. The high demand is explained by the status of the event, which is the premier sporting event in the world and attracts millions of spectators from across the globe.
The 2026 tournament will be unique, as matches will be held in three North American countries simultaneously. This expands opportunities for tourists who wish to visit not only the football matches but also the largest cities in these countries, such as New York, Mexico City, and Toronto.
Despite the significant increase in the number of bookings, specialists advise travelers to carefully monitor entry rules and document requirements. Preparing for such large-scale trips takes time, so early planning remains the best way to avoid problems with organizing the journey.
