Fifa is under investigation over its ticket pricing ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
The attorneys general of New York and New Jersey are investigating the association over allegations of “artificially inflating prices” and “misleading fans” over the sale of tickets. Fans have reportedly been “misled” about the location of seats, including through the creation of more expensive “front” category tickets released after the initial sales, according to the report.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino defended the prices earlier in May, saying they reflect the public’s “absolutely crazy” appetite, though Fifa declined to comment on recent events.
