For example, the Croatian Football Association published the price list for 2026 World Cup tickets on its website today, sparking shock and outrage among supporters. The price for Croatia’s opening match against England is set at $265—an astonishing eight times higher than the ticket price for Euro 2024.

Previously, a scandal erupted when FIFA decided to sell parking passes for cars at exorbitant rates, further fueling fans’ frustration.

In any case, we are in for a dramatic and vibrant 2026 World Cup.
