MEXICO CITY (AP) â FIFA President Gianni Infantino defended World Cup ticket prices on Wednesday, saying, âif we do something wrong, then probably everyone selling tickets in North America is doing something wrong.â
Infantino spoke with reporters during a rare question-and-answer session on the eve of the opening match of an expanded 48-nation, 104-game World Cup tournament.
He defended record ticket prices, said FIFA was powerless to get the US government to admit a Somali referee, and praised his ability to get Iranâs national soccer team into the United States.
