NEW YORK – FIFA President Gianni Infantino stated on Tuesday that the current World Cup is already 'the most successful in history,' with stadiums 'full at 99.6% occupancy,' and defended the tournament's development despite criticisms such as the high ticket prices. 'So far, it has been a total success. Today, this World Cup is the most successful,' Infantino said in an interview with EFE in New York, highlighting that stadiums have recorded '99.6% occupancy' and that the level of football has been 'incredible.' One sensitive point of this World Cup has been the ticket prices, which have faced criticism for being too expensive for much of the public. When asked about this controversy, Infantino maintained that the best response is that there are 'full stadiums.' 'All matches reach 99.6% occupancy. We see a very affectionate audience, many families, many young people. We thank everyone who is here,' the official asserted, amid controversies over whether the occupancy figures reflect only tickets sold or actual attendance.
