Football Supporters Europe (FSE) has urged FIFA to immediately stop selling tickets for the 2026 World Cup, arguing that prices for dedicated fans have reached “extortionate” levels—nearly five times those of the 2022 tournament in Qatar.
The organisation says tickets allocated to national associations, typically reserved for loyal supporters, are now “astronomical,” estimating that following a team from the opening match to the final would cost at least US$6900.
FSE also accused FIFA of abandoning earlier assurances of affordable pricing, noting that 2018 bid documents advertised tickets starting at US$21 and a full tournament journey costing US$2242 in the cheapest category.
The group is calling for FIFA to suspend sales, consult affected stakeholders, and redesign pricing to preserve the World Cup’s accessibility and cultural significance.
So Trump gives 60 days notice for new information to be added to the electronic travel thing, just before lots of die hard fans will do anything to travel there for the world cup.
How convenient to have all those people who will not care for the consequences, about to want to enter the US.
They will endorse this measure if they travel there, and then all the other countries tied into that visa free travel system will reciprocate the measure. Then all the lemmings will endorse the measures too.
Viola, freedoms greatly diminished.
FIFA giving Trump a peace prize, then allowing greatly inflated ticket prices from those promised at bidding, show they have no qualms if it gets them more money too.
