The Donation Campaign Partner is not responsible if the Donation Campaign Winner or her/his guests do not use any portion of the Donation Campaign Prize.

6. DRAW AND PRIZE DISTRIBUTION.

There will be two (2) draws (performed electronically using a random number generator) which will take place on:

Early Bird Draw: March 17, 2026 at approximately 11:00 a.m. EST

Main Draw: March 27, 2026 at approximately 11:00 a.m. EST

Eligible donations for the Early Bird Draw which are not selected will be eligible for the Main Draw.  Maximum one (1) Prize per entrant.

The Donation Campaign Winners will be selected by random draws from among the eligible donations received during the Early Bird Period or Donation Campaign Period, as applicable.  Within the [two (2)] day period following the applicable draw, Donation Campaign Partner (or its designated representative) will attempt to contact the selected entrants by email or by telephone, using the email address or telephone number (as appliable) provided with the selected entry. In the event that, for any reason, Donation Campaign Partner (or its representative) cannot contact a selected entrant within a [two (2)] day period following the first notification, such selected entrant may be disqualified, and Donation Campaign Partner may, at its sole discretion, conduct a new random drawing from all remaining eligible entries to identify another potential winner who will be subject to disqualification in the same manner. The Donation Campaign Partner will not be responsible for selected entrants who cannot be contacted or who do not respond in a timely manner.

Before being declared a Donation Campaign Winner and being awarded a Prize, selected entrants will be required to correctly answer, without assistance of any kind, whether mechanical or otherwise, a mathematical skill-testing question.  In addition, before being declared a Donation Campaign Winner and being awarded a Prize, selected entrants may also need to provide proof of eligibility as determined by the Partner in its sole discretion. Selected entrants will also be required to sign and return within [two (2)] business days a declaration and release form (the “Release Form”), which (among other things): (i) confirms compliance with these Rules and acceptance of the Prize as awarded without substitution; (ii) releases the Pubic Donation Entities, their its affiliates, advertising and promotional agencies, and each of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, dealers, representatives, successors and assigns from any liability in connection with the Donation Campaign, the selected entrant’s participation therein and/or the awarding and use/misuse of their Prize or any portion thereof; and (iii) agrees to the publication, reproduction and/or other use of their name, address, voice, statements and/or photograph or other likeness, without further notice or compensation, in any publicity or advertisement carried out by the Partner in any manner whatsoever, including print, broadcast or the Internet.   

Guests (or the parents/legal guardians of any legal minors) of the Donation Campaign Winners may also be required to complete and return a liability and publicity release before tickets or other components of the Prize will be awarded.

Declining a Prize, failing to correctly answer the mathematical skill-testing question, failing to return the properly executed Release Form within the time period indicated on the Release Form or otherwise failing to comply with these Rules will cause the Prize to be forfeited and a new winner selected in accordance with the process for the Prize, as described above. The notification to potential Donation Campaign Winners will include instructions for how to contact the Donation Campaign Partner to provide name, address and other information that may be required to complete validation of eligibility and delivery of the Donation Campaign Prize. No liability is assumed for any notification that is lost, intercepted or not received by the Donation Campaign Winner for any reason. To collect a Donation Campaign Prize, Donation Campaign Winners will need to download the FIFA World Cup 2026™ mobile app to retrieve invitation (tickets). The Donation Campaign Partner will arrange for the transfer of the Donation Campaign Prize via the FIFA World Cup 2026™ app to the e-mail address or phone number designated by the Donation Campaign Winner. 

Donation Campaign Partner will communicate publicly on the official Donation Campaign website, via social media and media inquiries, the selected entrants’ first name, last name initial and City of residence to ensure transparency of process. No other personal details will be disclosed at any time by the Donation Campaign Partner without verbal consent from a Donation Campaign Winner.

In the event of a dispute, all email entries will be deemed to have been submitted by the owner of the email account referenced in the entry.
