Due to a glitch on the FIFA website, several fans were able to get free tickets for matches at the upcoming World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
FIFA has, however, asked the recipients to pay the correct amount for the tickets, the football ruling body told dpa on Friday.
"FIFA can confirm that approximately 60 FIFA World Cup 2026 fans received a communication on Wednesday, 3 June regarding tickets that had been allocated at no charge due to a prior payment issue during the checkout process," FIFA said.
The body added that, while it "regrets the error and any inconvenience caused," it's demanding fans pay up.
"The tickets requested by these fans remain reserved, and the affected fans have been invited to complete payment of the correct amount," it said.
Supporters reportedly have seven days to complete payment or lose their seats.
The World Cup starts on June 11.
