FIFA president reacts to criticism about World Cup ticket prices

Eight years of preparation have led up to the FIFA World Cup hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada. Unfortunately, many fans can't afford to attend. This year's World Cup is the most expensive for fans in tournament history. When asked about the high ticket prices on Tuesday, FIFA president Gianni Infantino downplayed fans' frustration about being priced out. "You know, they are not angry when they have to watch other sports in the U.S., of which the prices are actually much higher than the World Cup prices," Infantino told CNBC. #montana #montanamoment #nbcmontana #mtwx #news #national #nationalnews #sports #soccer #worldcup #worldcup2026 #ticket #tickets #fifa #president #reaction #react #critical FULL STORY: https://nbcmontana.com/news/nation-wo...
