Fifa ramps up efforts to sell luxury World Cup hospitality tickets after revenue re-evaluation

• Packages still available for 102 of the 104 matches

• Fifa selling individual suites in former group sections

Fifa is upping efforts to sell luxury hospitality tickets for the World Cup, with packages still available for 102 of the 104 matches at the expanded tournament.

Mexico’s Group A opener against South Korea and one last-32 fixture expected to feature Spain are the only matches showing a lack of availability on Fifa’s hospitality platform, and a new category – “suite essentials” – has been added to lower-profile games, allowing customers to buy an individual ticket for a suite that would previously have been sold to a group.
