Soccer fans are rightfully irate at FIFA over awful mistake with Women's World Cup tickets
The Women's World Cup begins next month in France… and it's already off to a bad start.
And FIFA is to blame, of course.
Fans who bought tickets to the games are just finding out now that the tickets that they bought might not be next to each other, which is kind of a big deal when you buy tickets to go with others to a sporting event. Especially if you're spending a good amount of money to travel all the way to France to see the games with family, friends, or whomever.
It would probably be nice to sit next to those people.
But that apparently isn't going to be the case for many fans because of a mistake by FIFA when the tickets went on sale:
The group phase begins June 7 with a match between host France and South Korea. The USA, the reigning World Cup champions, begin Group F play vs. Thailand on June 11.
Now imagine having to sit nowhere near the people you intended to watch the game with. Fans were rightfully upset.
Well, thanks for nothing, FIFA.
