According to the tabloid, the football chief made the award to MATCH hospitality, knowing that his nephew, Philippe Blatter, would benefit. FIFA has confirmed its president’s role in the appointment. The revelation comes as fans struggle to gain tickets for England’s games. They claim FIFA has issued too many tickets to VIPs at the expense of real fans. Prices are an average £900 per hospitality ticket, rising to £3,750 for the final, for seats worth a face value £125 plus food, drinks, entertainment and parking.
