Football Supporters’ Association statement on FIFA’s latest World Cup ticket price announcement.

FSA chair Tom Greatrex said:

“FIFA have a track record of announcing ‘affordable’ headline prices that, in reality, aren’t available to the vast majority of fans. 

“This seems to be a new version of that with the intention of relieving pressure on FIFA without fixing things for the majority of supporters.

“This is a step in the right direction, as it shows changes for good can be made, but it still leaves 90% of loyal, hardcore supporters paying ridiculous prices. 

“Rather than playing PR games FIFA needs to do the right thing and set prices at a reasonable price for all supporters, and FAs need to apply pressure on them to do just that.”
