FIFA has just announced ticket sales for an event described as the "official celebration" of the Club World Cup, scheduled to be held in Wall Street, New York (USA). The highest ticket price is listed up to 3,000 USD (nearly 80 million VND) for the Black category. Other ticket prices include 2,000 USD platinum (about 52 million VND) and 1,000 USD Silver (about 26 million VND).
The event is jointly organized by FIFA to introduce and promote the 2025 Club World Cup - a tournament that will be attended by 32 clubs for the first time and will be held in the US in the summer. According to the introduction, FIFA President Gianni Infantino will attend and speak at the party about the upcoming tournament as well as football.
In addition, there are many famous former players such as Kaka, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and Roberto Baggio.
In addition to football-related content, the program also includes entertainment, food, wine and performances by singer Rita Ora. The list of introduced guests includes influential figures in the fields of finance, fashion, and culture.
This move continues to spark controversy over FIFA's direction. FIFA has faced many opposing opinions because of its decision to expand the Club World Cup in the mid- summer, when the competition schedule is dense and the harsh weather conditions can affect the health of players.
Organizing parties and selling tickets at high prices in the US further strengthens the assessment of the trend of commercializing football.
FIFA has not yet commented on ticket prices, nor has it announced that the unit will receive revenue from the event.
At the same time, FIFA also opened limited ticket sales for the 2026 World Cup. The price ranges from 3,500 USD (about 91 million VND) for the lowest package to 73,200 USD (nearly 1.9 billion VND) for the highest package.
According to the plan, the event will take place on July 10 - three days before the FIFA Club World Cup 2025TM final.
