The Local Organizing Committee, in cooperation with the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL), has announced the decision to cancel the Qatar Football Festival 2026. Accordingly, the planned program of events in Qatar will not take place, including the Qatar 2026 Finalissima Cup match between Argentina and Spain at Lusail Stadium, which had previously been scheduled to be held in Doha.
In light of the continued airspace disruptions and travel restrictions that are still affecting the ability of many fans, players, and officials to travel, it has been jointly agreed that relocating the match to another location at the present time is the most appropriate option. The Local Organizing Committee welcomes the opportunity to host events organized by both UEFA and CONMEBOL in the future.
All fans who purchased tickets for the Qatar Football Festival will receive a full refund automatically within 30 days through the original method of payment. If the refund has not been received after this period, please contact: support@tickets.roadtoqatar.qa.
International fans who purchased travel packages through tourism agents will also be contacted directly regarding refund procedures.

The Local Organizing Committee thanks fans for their understanding and continued support.
