  • England fans face exorbitant costs to follow their team at the upcoming FIFA World Cup, with the cheapest final ticket priced at $4,185 (£3,120).
  • Following England from the first game to the final would cost a minimum of $7,020 (£5,228) for the cheapest tickets, a substantial increase compared to previous tournaments.
  • The England Fans’ Embassy described the pricing policy as a 'slap in the face' and 'laughable', criticising the disregard for loyal supporters.

  • FSE highlighted that supporting a team from start to finish at this World Cup could cost five times more than at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
