FIFA has confirmed a website error that allowed supporters to obtain tickets for the 2026 World Cup without charge. The global football governing body is now requiring full payment for these tickets, which are part of one of the most expensive World Cups in history. Separately, Argentina's national team has announced that defender Leonardo Balerdi, who captains Marseille, has been withdrawn from their 2026 World Cup squad due to injury. Argentina had unveiled its preliminary 26-player roster in late May as the reigning champions prepare to defend their title. Both announcements were made via press services on X.
