India’s hockey team is set to play Pakistan at the Hockey World Cup 2026 at Wagener Stadium in the Netherlands, with tickets reportedly selling out and the venue expected to be full. Interest from both Indian and Pakistani communities in the Netherlands has been high, driving strong demand for seats.
According to reports, tickets are sold online in phases starting in September 2025. The phased sales approach indicates sustained interest over several months rather than a single short rush. Outlets also note that the match has become a major draw for fans in the region, reflecting the broader rivalry and the significance of the World Cup fixture. While the sources provided focus on ticketing and venue capacity, they do not dispute the core development that the stadium is expected to reach capacity ahead of the match.
