According to a report on the website of Britain's “Daily Telegraph” on December 11, fan groups accuse FIFA of charging “excessive” ticket prices to the most loyal fans and demand an immediate end to the 2026 US-Canada-Mexico World Cup ticket sales. The “European Soccer Supporters Association”, which represents fan groups from all over Europe, called for the cessation of ticket sales through soccer associations and other channels. According to statistics from the European Football Supporters' Association, if fans want to watch all the games of the team they support from the first game to the final, the minimum cost is 6,900 US dollars, which is almost five times that of the previous World Cup. If airfare and accommodation costs are taken into account, the total cost of watching the game may at least double. For viewers, this World Cup is likely to be the most expensive sporting event ever.
