Infantino Defends World Cup Prices vs. College Football

FIFA President Gianni Infantino defends high World Cup ticket prices by comparing them to expensive college football games in the U.S.

Infantino argued that seeing a college football playoff game in the U.S. costs more than $300, while 25% of group stage World Cup tickets are under that price. He stated that FIFA operates as a nonprofit and prices must reflect market rates. Furthermore, he clarified that FIFA does not control resale market prices, which can reach exorbitant levels, but he promised to personally bring a hot dog and Coke to any buyer paying millions for a ticket. mwafrika.life
