FIFA World Cup Bronze Final Tickets

The FIFA World Cup Bronze match, or third-place playoff, offers teams one last chance to shine. While less prestigious than the FIFA World Cup Final, it often features standout performances.

The Netherlands claimed third in 2014 with a 3-0 win over Brazil. France and Sweden have each finished third twice, with notable victories in 1958, 1986, and 1994. Croatia also impressed with third-place finishes in 1998 and 2022.

In the semi-finals, Brazil and Germany have delivered historic performances, including Germany’s 7-1 win over Brazil in 2014. Italy’s 2-0 extra-time victory over Germany in 2006 and France’s tactical 2-0 win over Belgium in 2018 are also memorable. Argentina's 1986 win over Belgium, led by Maradona, remains iconic.

In the FIFA World Cup Bronze final in Qatar, Croatia secured third place by defeating Morocco 2-1, adding another strong finish to their impressive World Cup history. FIFA World Cup 2026, the tournament will be hosted across the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
