Supporters' collective files lawsuit against 'excessive' Fifa World Cup ticket prices
The Football Supporters Europe (FSE) collective filed a lawsuit on Tuesday with the European Commission targeting football's world governing body Fifa over "excessive ticket prices" for this year's World Cup finals.
The FSE and the Euroconsumers organisation said the tickets for the June 11-July 19 tournament in the US, Canada and Mexico were overpriced and complained that Fifa has a monopoly over the sales.
"Euroconsumers and Football Supporters Europe (FSE) have filed a formal complaint with the European Commission against Fifa, alleging that the football body has abused its monopoly placement to enforce excessive ticket prices and opaque and unfair purchasing conditions and processes on European fans ahead of the 2026 World Cup," the FSE said in a remark.
"Fifa holds a monopoly over ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup and has used that authority to enforce conditions on fans that would never be acceptable in a competitive arena," the collective added.
The FSE said the prices for the ultimate were way above those for the 2022 ultimate in Qatar.
