Fifa president Gianni Infantino should focus on making "cheap tickets" for the 2026 World Cup instead of "cheap jokes" about British fans, says the Football Supporters' Association. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland on Thursday, Infantino said it was "really special" that no British nationals were arrested during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. "For the first time in history also, no Brit was arrested during a World Cup," added Infantino. This is something really, really special." In response, the FSA said: "While we've got Mr Infantino's attention, we'd like to point out that rather than making cheap jokes about our fans, he should concentrate on making cheap tickets."
