2026 World Cup: Surprise, FIFA Creates a New, Even More Expensive Ticket Category

This new category specifically applies to the front rows of the lower stands. These seats were seemingly already included within the ‘classic’ Category 1, which was previously advertised as offering the best possible seating for spectators.
