England fans will have to pay more than £5,000 on match tickets alone if they want to follow their country at next summer’s World Cup and Thomas Tuchel’s team go all the way to the final, which has been priced at over £3,000.
The Independent understands some national associations have reacted in horror after they were informed that PMA (Participating Member Associations) tickets are up to five times more expensive than the last World Cup in Qatar, while Football Supporters Europe (FSE), the main European fan group, has accused Fifa of “betrayal” and called for an “immediate halt” to ticket sales. Some national associations are said to be “furious”.
