World Cup organisers unveiled a new cut-price ticket category on Tuesday after a backlash by fans over pricing for the 2026 tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

FIFA has introduced a $60 “Supporter Entry Tier” for every match at the 2026 World Cup, distributing tickets through national federations to loyal fans.

For the 48 nations participating in next year's World Cup, it will be a lucrative windfall whether they win a game or hoist the trophy for winning the tournament.

The winner of the 2026 World Cup will receive a record jackpot of $50 million, FIFA said Wednesday.

World soccer’s governing body said the total prize fund for the World Cup, staged in the United States, Canada and Mexico, was $655 million — a 50% increase on the previous edition in Qatar.

Fifa will finally release its much-anticipated return to video games in 2026, several years after its acrimonious split with developer EA.
