June 5 (UPI) -- FIFA canceled free 2026 World Cup tickets, which were obtained by about 60 fans in a website error, the international soccer governing body announced.
The tickets were made available May 21 through the official World Cup ticket marketplace. FIFA said the same tickets will be reserved for the same fans to purchase them at the correct price.
"FIFA can confirm that approximately 60 FIFA World Cup 2026 fans received a communication on Wednesday ... regarding tickets that had been allocated at no charge due to a prior payment issue during the checkout process," FIFA said Thursday.
"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."
