Industry Odisha Bureau, Jun 5: As the FIFA World Cup-2026 is going to kickstart from June 11 cohosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico, and the online sale of tickets have already open, a bizarre turn of events has come to the forefront when the fans availed tickets intriguingly mentioned ‘0 USD’ reportedly due to technical glitch in the official website of the FIFA authorities.
However, the FIFA reportedly regretted the technical error and immediately cancelled those tickets later on, while simultaneously asked those fans for completing the correct payment of the tickets being officially charged so that they could reclaim their respective tickets well in advance and would not miss the golden opportunity of witnessing the global game’s extravaganza.
Reportedy issuing an official statement, FIFA said, “approximately 60 FIFA World Cup 2026 fans received a communication on Wednesday, 3 June, regarding tickets that had been allocated at no charge (0 USD) due to a prior payment issue during the checkout process. The tickets requested by these fans remain reserved, and the affected fans have been invited to complete payment of the correct amount. FIFA regrets the error and any inconvenience caused.”
