FIFA is facing an investigation into allegations it misled supporters over tickets for upcoming games in Houston and Dallas.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is looking into claims FIFA misguided supporters regarding the location and quality of seats sold to them. Sections of fans allege premium seats at certain games costing over $10,000, have been replaced with tickets offering less desirable views than advertised.
The investigation focuses on reports that consumers purchased 'Category 1' seats expecting premium views of the pitch, only to have FIFA adjust stadium seat maps after these had been bought. Those seats are then alleged to have been moved into sections originally designated as 'Category 2' instead.
Houston will host games involving Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo, while the likes of England and Lionel Messi's Argentina will play in Dallas.
