  • FIFA faces potential embarrassment with hundreds of expensive tickets still available for the Croatia vs. England World Cup match.

FIFA and its president, Gianni Infantino, are facing renewed criticism over exorbitant ticket prices for the World Cup, with hundreds of tickets still unsold for the highly anticipated Croatia vs. England match.

According to the Daily Mail, the high cost of remaining tickets could lead to empty seats and further embarrassment for the organization, which has already been under fire for its pricing strategy throughout the tournament. The match, scheduled for Wednesday, June 17, in Dallas, is the opening game for the Croatian national team in Group L.

The cheapest available tickets for the game are reportedly priced at $867 (approximately 750 euros). For those seeking premium seating, VIP sector tickets are fetching prices close to 8,000 euros. This situation risks a repeat of the awkward scenes witnessed at other matches, where significant numbers of seats remained empty due to unaffordability.
