Read and share the EU complaint
Football Supporters Europe and Euroconsumers represent millions of fans and consumers across Europe. Their complaint is the most credible legal challenge to FIFA's ticket practices to date.
Take Action
FIFA can afford to seat real fans. They're choosing not to.
Football Supporters Europe and Euroconsumers have filed a formal monopoly abuse complaint at the European Commission. Here's the case, and how to add your voice.
What the complaint says
- Cheapest 2026 final ticket starts at $4,185. The cheapest 2022 final ticket was $268. More than 7× in four years.
- FIFA's own bid documents projected an average ticket price of $1,408. Reality is far above that.
- FIFA takes a 30% cut from every resale — 15% from the buyer, 15% from the seller.
- Tickets for the final appeared on FIFA's own resale platform at $2.3 million each in April 2026.
- The promised $60 group-stage tickets were almost impossible to secure for ordinary fans.
- No structured pricing exists for disabled fans or their companions.

FIFA can afford better
FIFA is not a struggling organization. It generated more than $7.6 billion in revenue across the last World Cup cycle and sits on multi-billion-dollar reserves. The argument that high prices are necessary doesn't hold. Subsidizing tens of thousands of fan-priced seats — the kind that fill stadiums with the noise and color that make the World Cup what it is — would barely register against FIFA's books. The choice to price loyal supporters out in favor of corporate clients, resale speculators, and the highest bidders is exactly that: a choice.
The complaint at the European Commission isn't asking for free tickets. It's asking for transparency, a stop to dynamic pricing on a once-in-a-lifetime event, and respect for the fans whose presence gives the tournament its meaning. The 2026 World Cup is being staged across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The fans who built the global passion for football deserve a way in.

The European Commission listens to public pressure. The more visible this complaint becomes, the harder it is for FIFA to ignore.
Where this site's ad revenue goes
30% of advertising revenue from myworldcuptime.com during the World Cup window will go to a grassroots youth football charity. Donations will be made after the tournament once AdSense funds settle.
Recipient charity to be confirmed and named here. Updates posted on this page after each donation milestone.
Why this exists
The site is satirical about ticket prices. The constructive answer is to put money where the mouth is, toward the grassroots clubs and programs where real football communities are built. AdSense pays out on a delay, so the donation cannot happen during the tournament itself. This page will be updated with bank transfer screenshots after each donation milestone, for accountability.
