FIFA has responded to global criticism of steep ticket pricing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup by creating a new **“Supporter Entry Tier” with tickets priced at $60 for all 104 matches, including the final. The limited low-cost tickets will make up about 10% of each national team’s allocation and will be distributed through participating member associations to loyal fans. Fans and groups had condemned earlier prices as “extortionate,” with some games and stages costing hundreds to thousands of dollars. Despite the concession, critics say it may not sufficiently address affordability concerns ahead of the tournament hosted in the US, Canada and Mexico. (PC: Reuters)
