The U.S. opener was priced at $2,735, unchanged from December.

FIFA did not announce which games were available, forcing buyers to search themselves.

European supporters filed a formal complaint against FIFA for abuse of monopoly position.

Ticket prices appear to be around five times higher than the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

The French Football Federation announced it would address the issue at its upcoming assembly.

FIFA's ticket sale phase was plagued by technical difficulties and long queue times.

“FIFA said that the majority of requests came from the three host countries, namely the United States, Mexico and Canada, followed by requests from Colombia, England, Ecuador, Brazil, Argentina, Scotland, Germany, Australia, France and Panama”

The last-minute sales phase was split into subphases, causing confusion.
