The 2026 World Cup will feature 48 teams for the first time
A fan group says "alarm bells should be ringing at Fifa" over the fact England supporters have not taken up their full ticket allocation for next summer's World Cup final and semi-final.
So far the number of allocated tickets to members of the England Supporters Travel Club (ESTC) exceeds the number of applications received, meaning everyone who has applied for a ticket to the final and semi-final is guaranteed one.
The pricing structure for the tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico has been widely criticised, with about 90% of tickets for the final made available to ESTC members costing £3,094.
That led to Fifa introducing a limited number of tickets at £45, but the Football Supporters' Association's Fans' Embassy says England fans not taking up their allocation should be a concern.
