This is also all the more important amid the number of counterarguments going on about how "nothing will change", "this is just supply and demand, get used to it"

This actually quite a big climbdown - even if it's still a limited number of tickets available

"In total, 50% of each PMA allocation will fall within the most affordable range, namely Supporter Value Tier (40%) and the Supporter Entry Tier (10%)."

As a community, it was imperative that @fanseurope.org Diversity & Inclusion Fan Network stood up to these unacceptable circumstances, facing supporters with disabilities across the globe.

Our committee will continue to seek justice for our community & we are not afraid to speak up.

Wheelchair & easy access amenity tickets are available on FIFA's resale site at extortionate prices

The Metlife Stadium final in New Jersey has a resale price of $12,995

FIFA claim this tournament will be “a groundbreaking event that sets new standards in diversity & inclusion”

Fans with disabilities often face additional, unavoidable costs related to disability.

Extreme ticket prices, therefore, create a significant barrier to participation.

Unprecedentedly, FIFA are charging for personal assistant tickets & reduced rates are not forthcoming.

@fanseurope.org

What makes the FIFA World Cup magically unique is the diverse global network of teams, fans & communities represented.

Disappointingly, FIFA have been negligent in their attitude & behaviour towards inclusivity for the 2026 World Cup.

As a community, we had to speak up! @fanseurope.org

Chief executive of the FSA Kevin Miles issued the following statement: “We have serious concerns about police forces deploying largely unproven technologies against matchgoing fans. “Misuse or inconsiderate deployment of DNA spray by officers could see innocent bystanders caught up in criminal justice procedures in which they have no reason to be entangled. “The arrest stats continue to show that football is an overwhelmingly safe activity – with just 5.5 arrests per 100,000 spectators last year. So we have to ask: is this necessary and is this proportionate? “What is particularly disappointing to us – at a time when Government has legislated to ensure fans have a voice in the game – is the total absence of consultation by the police.”

Following news reports this week that Cheshire Police plan to expand their use of DNA spray technology during their football policing operations, we have issued the following statement.
