Players in action during the India-Brazil match on Saturday
Tickets for Tuesday’s match have been priced between Rs 749 and Rs 1,699, depending on the stand and location. Bengal sports minister Indranil Khan on X said, “As committed by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, as a goodwill gesture, complimentary passes will be provided for the India vs Uruguay match scheduled to be held on 6th Oct, 2026 at Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan to all football lovers who had purchased tickets for Lionel Messi GOAT tour to Kolkata on 13th Dec, 2026. The physical passes for the match maybe collected on 5th Oct between 11 am and 5 pm, upon production of a valid govt photo identity proof and the previous event paid ticket. ” He also provided a list of 8 places from where these passes can be collected, including Salt Lake stadium.
Uruguay’s visit though adds another major international fixture to Kolkata’s football calendar. The two-time world champions are currently ranked 20th in the FIFA rankings. The La Celeste, however, had a group stage exit in the last two world cups. For India, the match offers another opportunity to face a traditionally strong South American side after the Brazil encounter, but the response from the stands is yet to match the hype generated by the Selecao’s visit.
