2:46Now PlayingFIFA has announced "more affordable" tickets for all 104 matches at next year's World Cup after an outcry over pricing.
The cheapest tickets will now be on offer from $60 (£45) as part of a new "Supporter Entry Tier" which will be available specifically to supporters of qualified teams.
In a statement, FIFA said: "With demand in the current sales phase achieving 20 million ticket requests, FIFA has confirmed that fans of the national teams that have qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2026 will benefit from a dedicated ticket pricing tier, which has been designed to make following their teams on football's greatest stage more affordable.
"The newly introduced Supporter Entry Tier will be available at the fixed price of USD 60 per ticket for each of the 104 matches, including the final."
FIFA had been urged to halt World Cup ticket sales after it emerged countries' most loyal fans faced paying "extortionate" prices for tickets, with the cheapest for the final coming in at over £3,000.
Sky's Rob Harris reports live on this breaking news story.
