Infantino Praises World Cup Success, Justifies High Ticket Prices

In a long interview with Swiss Blue News, FIFA chief Gianni Infantino praised the 48‑team World Cup as a “huge success” and said the competition should be considered for expansion to 64 teams. He also defended the high ticket prices, noting that resales can fetch four‑to‑five times the original price, and stated FIFA will earn roughly 13‑14 million Swiss francs (about 155‑170 million NOK) from the tournament. Infantino further welcomed the newly introduced water breaks, saying they were a positive addition. tbzikra.com
