Beyond getting tickets to matches, you’ll need accommodation for the World Cup. With many hotels entering deals with FIFA, corporations, etc, it could not only get pricey but also difficult. Fortunately, there are package providers that can assist fans with attending matches while providing the comfort of accommodations.
The list below only includes people we’ve personally met and witnessed their capabilities + the FIFA vendor.

Official Hospitality Packages & Tickets
You purchase packages through the above 3rd party options, but FIFA also announces an official partner.
The official partner will provide FIFA stamped approval hotels (read into that what you will) as well as direct access to the Hospitality Tickets. These tickets come at a premium and will have various levels of benefits.

In the past, FIFA’s official hospitality partner has has been MATCH Hospitality.
For 2026, it is On Location.

We also posted some old content below from MATCH during Qatar 2022 to illustrate ideas.
Qatar 2022 Hospitality Examples
Costs: the cheapest tickets for Qatar 2022 started at $950.
The benefit of the hospitality tickets is you can skip some of the chaos of the Ticketing Portal and purchase directly.
In summer 2022, fans could still find plenty of games but none for Argentina.
Months before the tournament, even Round of 16 and Quarterfinal matches were available for Hospitality.
Here’s a snapshot of proof for the Group Games. Matches highlighted in blue illustrate available games for this one section that fit into a screenshot.
Hotels Available via Official MATCH Hospitality
Not only does the MATCH Hospitality site enable fans to purchase tickets directly, but it also serves as a point of sale for the FIFA-stamped lodging options. If you try to book these hotels directly, you will get sent away.
You pay a premium AND you must still buy a ticket; and those start at $950.
Below is a great example of a small package from Qatar 2022 for 4 nights + tickets to see Ghana vs Uruguary (a match that was sold out on the FIFA ticketing portal) with a hospitality ticket.
The total cost in USD was $2,268.
