INFANTINO: “If there was no FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world”

FIFA President Gianni Infantino He commented on World Cup ticket prices, saying they reflected “absolutely insane” demand for next summer’s tournament:

“We have six to seven million tickets and in 15 days we received 150 million ticket requests. So every day we have 10 million requests. This shows how strong the World Cup is.”

FIFA has sold just 44 million tickets in almost 100 years of the World Cup. So we were able to sell tickets for the 300th anniversary of the World Cup in two weeks. Just imagine. “This is absolutely crazy.”

Infantino also noted that funds from ticket sales would be reinvested into world football, but did not specify a specific amount:

“The important thing is that the revenue from this goes back into football around the world. If it weren’t for FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world. Football exists thanks to the revenues we get from the World Cup, and we reinvest that into football around the world.”

Previously, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on FIFA to further reduce 2026 World Cup ticket prices.

“We would be willing to organize a friendly match, because football is a sport that unites and unites people. Unfortunately we did not have the chance to participate in the World Cup and we did not reach the final of the African Championship. Therefore we are open to this idea and would be happy about it.” <…>. I would be very happy to come to Russia and support our team,” Doneng said.

He added that CAR is not yet able to organize a match of this level in the Bangui stadium, as it is undergoing reconstruction. The minister also expressed extreme interest in Russian help in training local football personnel, both players and coaches.
