Texas AG Paxton Investigates FIFA Ticket Sales Amid Corruption Claims
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into FIFA concerning allegations of misleading soccer fans about seat locations and quality for 2026 World Cup matches. This action follows complaints from fans in host cities like Arlington and Houston who claim purchased “Category 1” tickets, advertised with premium views, were later moved to less desirable sections. The investigation will assess whether FIFA violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by misrepresenting ticket categories or seat locations during the sales process.
