Normally protected accessibility tickets for the 2026 World Cup are appearing on Fifa’s own resale site at more than six times the original face value, as Gianni Infantino has been asked if he still “feels disabled” – as he claimed in Qatar – in a strongly-worded letter from the Disability and Inclusion Fan Network of Football Supporters Europe.
The group express “profound concern” over ticket prices and companion charges that are likely to exclude supporters with disabilities from the 2026 World Cup. The issue is just the latest strand of another controversy engulfing Fifa, as the network pointed to how the world governing body are going against their own statutes, as well contradicting the empathy that Infantino claimed to show in Qatar.
