The supporters’ discontent has reached FIFA. The exorbitant prices of tickets to attend the next World Cup (370% inflation compared to the previous World Cup according to figures collected by the Football Supporters Europe network) are forcing various fan associations to step up and rebel against this pricing policy. To calm this anger, the international body announced this Tuesday that it would put on sale a new category of ticket called “Basic Stand for supporters” at 60 euros each.
These tickets concern all the matches of this North American World Cup, from the groups to the final. “This category was set up to help supporters follow their team throughout the competition», Explains Gianni Infantino, FIFA President. Supporters of the teams concerned for these matches will have priority. It will be up to the associations to then process the requests and allocate these tickets.
