What happened: Fifa has announced 'more affordable' tickets priced at $60 (£45) for the 2026 World Cup, responding to concerns over high ticket costs.
Why it matters:
- Lower ticket prices aim to make the tournament more accessible to fans worldwide.
- The change addresses previous criticism about the affordability of attending World Cup matches.
MNN Take: Fifa's introduction of cheaper tickets reflects an effort to balance revenue needs with fan access, though details on availability and allocation remain limited.
