England fans continue to shun high-priced tickets for the 2026 World Cup semi-final and final, despite FIFA citing record global demand of 150 million requests. President Gianni Infantino defends the costs amid backlash from supporters priced out of later stages.
England supporters are avoiding tickets for the later stages of the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to soaring costs, leaving allocations undersubscribed.
