FIFA must explain World Cup ticket prices – level 1

FIFA must explain World Cup ticket prices

03-06-2026 07:00

Officials in the US are looking into FIFA. FIFA must explain the prices of tickets for the World Cup. This is happening only two weeks before the World Cup games start.

Officials say FIFA lies to fans. They make ticket prices too high. Many fans are very angry. They pay a lot of money, but they get bad seats far from the game. Some tickets cost 2,000 dollars. Normal families do not have enough money to buy them.

Football fans say FIFA promises a great game for everyone. But now only rich people can go. FIFA does not want to talk about this. Fans think that FIFA only wants to get a lot of money.

Difficult words: explain (to make something clear and easy to understand), lie (to say something that you know is not true), promise (to say officially that you will definitely do something).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Why are many fans angry about FIFA's World Cup ticket prices and seating?
