Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating FIFA following reports that it engaged in deceptive ticket sales practices for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Fans who have purchased tickets allege that they were misled regarding the location, quality, and value of the seats purchased through FIFA’s ticketing platform. Various news and consumer reports indicate that ticket purchasers who paid premium prices based on FIFA’s seating maps received seats in locations that were inconsistent with those representations.
