Fans have sought 17 million tickets for this year’s World Cup finals in Qatar, FIFA said yesterday.
Despite Final tickets costing up to $1,600, FIFA still records high demands for the tickets.
“Fans across the globe have proven their enthusiasm,” FIFA said.
Demand was highest from the host country of the November-December event. But FIFA said it had been “inundated” with requests from Argentina, Brazil, England, France, India, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the United States.
Some 1.8 million tickets were sought just for the final which will be held in the 80,000 seat Lusail stadium on December 18, the world body said.
