No-ticket fans
World Cup 2026 fan zone safety guide
Fan zones can be the best part of a no-ticket trip, but crowd exits, heat, phone battery and late transport need a plan before kickoff.
Safety checklist
- Pick a meeting point outside the crowd before the match starts.
- Carry water, power bank, ID and one backup payment method.
- Check bag rules for official events and nearby venues.
- Know the second-best transit option before the match ends.
- Leave early if the crowd feels compressed near exits.
