Fans File Complaint with EU Over FIFA World Cup 2026 Ticket Prices

sportsMar 24, 2026

A coalition of European football supporters filed a formal complaint with the European Commission challenging FIFA's ticket pricing and access policies for the 2026 World Cup. Fans argue FIFA's prices and distribution rules lock out ordinary supporters and favor commercial intermediaries. The complaint moves the dispute to Brussels, where EU authorities can investigate potential breaches of consumer and competition law. If the Commission pursues enforcement, FIFA could face fines, ticketing changes, and tighter oversight ahead of the Canada, Mexico, and United States-hosted tournament.
