FIFA president Gianni Infantino has justified the pricing of World Cup match tickets for this summer’s tournament by insisting that global soccer’s world governing body is a non-profit organisation and citing what he described as a “special market” compared to concerts or NFL matches.Speaking at the Semafor World Economy 2026 Annual Convening on Friday, Infantino reiterated that FIFA is a not-for-profit organisation, explained that it only has the opportunity to draw revenue on a quadrennial basis, and insisted that it is trying to find the “right balance” in order to distribute money between its 211 member nations.Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
