Peter Moore, former Liverpool CEO, criticized FIFA’s use of dynamic pricing for the 2026 World Cup tickets, saying it makes attending the games too expensive for many fans. He expressed concerns that ticket scalpers and bots are buying tickets to resell at higher prices, which could lead to empty seats and fewer genuine fans at the event.
Key Facts
The 2026 FIFA World Cup tickets are very expensive due to dynamic pricing, with some final match tickets costing over $2 million.
Dynamic pricing means ticket prices change based on demand, similar to how concert tickets are priced.
Peter Moore called out FIFA President Gianni Infantino for supporting the use of dynamic pricing and criticized the 30% cut FIFA takes from these sales.
Tickets are often bought by bots and resellers who do not plan to attend, which could result in empty seats during games.
Travel restrictions and visa difficulties affect fans from countries like Ivory Coast, Haiti, Iran, and Senegal, limiting their attendance.
FIFA expects to earn $3 billion from ticket sales and hospitality, aiming to exceed $11 billion in total revenue from the tournament.
MLS commissioner Don Garber supported dynamic pricing by comparing the World Cup to the NFL Super Bowl, where dynamic pricing is common.
Critics argue that using dynamic pricing for many games in a short time reduces the exclusivity and fan experience compared to single, annual major events like the Super Bowl.

Key Facts
The incident happened during Rybakina’s three-set win over Zheng Qinwen at the Madrid Open.
Zheng was awarded an ace on a serve when she was leading 30-0 and 4-3 in the second set.

Rybakina called the wrong call “frustrating” and felt the point was unfairly given to her opponent.

UEFA has strict rules that prevent football clubs with shared ownership from playing in the same European competition to keep matches fair. Several Premier League clubs, including Everton, Chelsea, and Nottingham Forest, had to ensure they follow these rules by a March 1 deadline to avoid losing their European spots. Everton’s ownership link with Italy’s Roma has raised concerns because both clubs could qualify for European tournaments.
Key Facts

UEFA’s rules look at shareholding, voting rights (30% is a key level), and who makes decisions in clubs.
Everton needs to show UEFA that Friedkin does not control both clubs to keep its European competition place.
