FIFA accused of colluding with ticket resale platforms in desperate attempt to shift seats at low-interest World Cup games - despite warning fans not to buy from resellers

FIFA is facing allegations of colluding with ticket resale platforms to offload empty seats for low-interest World Cup matches, despite previously advising fans against buying from resellers. Reseller SeatGeek has listed a large number of tickets for the Saudi Arabia vs Cape Verde game, suggesting efforts to fill venues that might otherwise remain empty. This situation raises questions about FIFA's integrity and transparency, especially given the organization's previous warnings to fans about the risks of buying from unauthorized sellers.
