Fans who thought they had scored free 2026 World Cup tickets have been hit with a reality check. FIFA says a website glitch allowed about 60 supporters to secure seats for $0, but the governing body now wants payment.
Affected fans have been given seven days to pay the correct amount or risk losing their tickets.
FIFA admitted the error and said it “regrets” the mix-up, but insists the seats remain reserved only if fans complete payment. The incident has sparked fresh debate over World Cup ticketing and pricing.
