World Cup organisers on Tuesday announced a cheaper category of tickets after sustained criticism of the prices at the 2026 competition in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

FIFA, the governing body of world football, said in a statement that it had created "Supporter Entry Tier tickets set at 60 US dollars each and available for all 104 matches, including the final".
