Empty seats at World Cup match after controversy over ticket prices
The 2026 World Cup match between Switzerland and Qatar took place with hundreds of empty seats, causing many people to question FIFA's ticket prices at this tournament.
The 2026 World Cup match between Switzerland and Qatar took place at Levi's Stadium in San Francisco with hundreds of empty seats, creating skepticism about FIFA's ticket pricing policy. This was the first match held in the US without the participation of the home team and the tickets were not sold out. Although the match was not considered a big draw, there were still many empty seats throughout the field. The match start time at 12 noon local time along with high temperatures may be the reason why the audience does not come to the stadium. FIFA has given the excuse that more spectators could stand in the hallways instead of sitting in their seats, but this is not entirely convincing.
