The Japan Football Association (JFA) announced on July 22 that it will release 1,200 additional tickets for the September 24 Kirin Challenge Cup 2026 match at Q&A Stadium Miyagi, where Japan will face an opponent to be determined. The tickets were previously reserved for related parties.

Details of the additional ticket sale

The additional 1,200 tickets will go on sale at 10:00 AM on July 25 (Saturday) through Ticket JFA on a first-come, first-served basis. The available seats are in categories 1 through 6, and purchasers must register as members beforehand. Prices will fluctuate based on demand through a "dynamic pricing" system, which automatically adjusts ticket costs based on factors like match date, seat category, and sales status.
