Accessibility Tickets

At each stadium and for all matches, FIFA is offering a dedicated allocation of tickets for purchase by disabled people and people with limited mobility.

There are five types of Accessibility Tickets:

  • Wheelchair User: available to users of wheelchairs and mobility scooters designed for the transportation of disabled people and people with limited mobility. Please note that such users must bring their own manual or electric wheelchairs as they will not be provided at the stadium. Spectators with a Wheelchair User Ticket will be permitted to enter the stadium with a manual or electric wheelchair or a mobility scooter. For safety and security reasons, manual or electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters need to fulfil certain basic requirements: they can have 3-4 wheels; the maximum dimensions are 80cm in width and 130cm in length; the maximum turning radius is 90cm; the maximum turning width is 150cm; and their maximum speed must be 6km/h.

  • Easy Access Amenity: this type of seat is available for disabled people or people with limited mobility who do not use wheelchairs but may be unable to bend their knees or need more room to access their seat, using a walking aid or crutches. Amenity seats also provide extra space for disabled people with assistance dogs. Whenever possible, these seats have minimal step access.

  • Easy Access Standard Ticket: ticket for disabled people or people with limited mobility who do not need a wheelchair user place but require seating with minimal step access that is close to accessible amenities (e.g. accessible toilets).

  • Easy Access Extra-Width: ticket for people (adult over 18 years of age) with a minimum body mass index (BMI) of 40kg/m².

  • Sensory Rooms: they will be available in 3 stadiums (Al Bayt Stadium, Lusail Stadium and Education City Stadium). Sensory rooms are for spectators with sensory access requirements who require a controlled sensory environment. This may benefit spectators who are intellectually disabled, autistic or who have a sensory processing disability, mental health issue or dementia.

Should your type of disability not be included in the description of our Accessibility Tickets, please visit the “Accessibility Tickets” section in our FAQ portal.

Successful applicants/purchasers for Wheelchair User, Easy Access Standard, Easy Access Amenity and Sensory Room tickets will be offered one additional ticket for free for a companion to assist and accompany them at the match. The companion must be able to provide all necessary assistance to the Accessibility Ticket holder. The companion will be seated as close as possible to the Accessibility Ticket holder; however, the exact location of the extra seat cannot be guaranteed. FIFA Ticketing cannot ensure that the seat for the companion will be immediately adjacent to that of the Accessibility Ticket holder.

Customers applying for Easy Access Extra-Width Tickets are not entitled to request a complimentary ticket for a companion.

All Accessibility Ticket applicants/purchasers may apply online using the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ ticketing portal during the specified sales phases. All customers applying for or purchasing Accessibility Tickets must provide proof of eligibility to prove that they are eligible to purchase them. Please make sure you can upload your proof of eligibility (“PoE”) as you will be asked for it during the ticket application process. Your eligibility will be verified by a dedicated team.

Please be respectful to other fans and only apply for these tickets if you truly require them. They are limited in number due to stadium configuration.
