FA urged by fans to challenge prices

THE Football Association has been urged to challenge FIFA’s “disgraceful” World Cup ticket prices for England’s most loyal fans.

Should England reach the final in July, fans looking to buy through the FA's allocation would need to spend more than £5,000 on tickets alone to attend all the matches, with the cheapest price for the showpiece game set at over £3,000.

The Press Association understands there is ongoing dialogue among national associations following the confirmation of pricing on Thursday, and the Football Supporters’ Association has called on the FA to play its part in that on behalf of England fans.

“We back Football Supporters Europe in calling for a halt in ticket sales and we are calling on the Football Association to work with fellow FAs to directly challenge these disgraceful prices,” an FSA statement published on Friday morning read.
