More than 4.5 million people signed up for the FIFA World Cup Visa Presale Draw, which ended on Friday, Sept. 19, the soccer governing body announced in a press release.

Germany, England, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Spain and Italy rounded out the Top 10 countries in World Cup ticket demand. Fans from 216 countries and territories entered applications into the ticket draw, FIFA said.
"These are not only outstanding figures, but also a strong statement. The whole world wants to be part of the FIFA World Cup 26: the biggest, most inclusive and most exciting event ever seen," FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in a press release.
