FIFA announces over 1 million tickets sold for 2026 World Cup in North America
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"More than 1 million tickets have already been sold for next year's World Cup, FIFA said Thursday in its first update on numbers since the official start of sales began earlier this month. The highest demand, as would be expected, were from buyers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico the three nations that will play host to the tournament. FIFA said people from 212 different countries and territories have already purchased,"
The Independent funds on-the-ground reporting across issues like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and produces documentaries such as 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes parsing facts from messaging, refuses to use paywalls, and asks for donations so journalists can continue interviewing both sides and remain trusted across the political spectrum. FIFA reported more than one million World Cup tickets sold since sales began, with strongest demand from the U.S., Canada and Mexico and buyers from 212 countries and territories. The tournament runs June 11 through July 19, and FIFA described the response as incredible and inclusive.
