Hoteles y alojamiento en Dallas–Fort Worth que reflejan la alta demanda y la logística de reservas de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026

UNITED STATES -------------------------------2602NEWS STORY

FIFA libera miles de habitaciones de hotel antes del Mundial 2026

Más disponibilidad y cifras sorprendentes

El Mundial de la FIFA 2026™ está a menos de 90 días de comenzar, y mientras la emoción por 104 partidos en tres países sigue creciendo, el panorama del alojamiento ha dado un giro inesperado: miles de habitaciones hoteleras que estaban bloqueadas para el torneo han sido devueltas al mercado general, generando disponibilidad que muchos fanáticos no esperaban encontrar tan cerca de la cita más grande del fútbol.

Este fenómeno se debe a una cláusula contractual de FIFA que devuelve los bloqueos no utilizados aproximadamente 120 días antes del evento, lo que ha puesto a disposición cientos de habitaciones en Dallas, Arlington, Filadelfia, Vancouver, Toronto y otras ciudades sede. En Vancouver, por ejemplo, se estima que 15 000 noches de habitación fueron liberadas tras la cancelación de bloques hoteleros.

Dallas y Arlington —donde se jugarán nueve partidos, más que en cualquier otra ciudad de Estados Unidos— han sido focos importantes. Antes de estas liberaciones, muchos hoteles cerca del AT&T Stadium estaban prácticamente “agotados” para los días de partido, y los precios por noche rondaban cifras elevadas —algunas suites ejecutivas y hoteles céntricos han registrado tarifas superiores a $900–$1 400 USD por noche para fechas de partidos clave.

Los datos de mercado proyectan que el gasto total de viajeros en las ciudades sede de Norteamérica podría superar los 8 100 millones de dólares entre junio y agosto de 2026 en alojamiento, transporte, comida y actividades, lo que representa un incremento de casi 750 millones USD respecto al mismo periodo del año anterior.

Estos cambios también responden a comportamientos de reserva únicos: muchos aficionados internacionales esperan hasta último minuto para confirmar viajes, mientras que los costos y complejidad de obtener visados para entrar a Estados Unidos han desincentivado algunas reservas tempranas, creando este hueco en la demanda que ahora abre oportunidades para quienes busquen alojamiento cerca de los estadios.

A pesar de las devoluciones de habitaciones, lo que muchos fans realmente quieren es estar presentes en vivo. Más de 500 millones de solicitudes de boletos se enviaron durante la fase de selección de entradas, un récord absoluto para la historia del torneo, lo que muestra que el interés por asistir sigue siendo extraordinario.

Para quienes buscan alojamiento de último momento, esta liberación puede representar no solo una segunda oportunidad de reservar cerca de los partidos, sino también la posibilidad de encontrar opciones más económicas que las predicciones previas, en un Mundial donde los aficionados de todo el mundo quieren vivir cada minuto de la acción.
