2023 WWC: FIFA to give out free tickets amid poor sales

Otu George

Amid worries over slow purchase of tickets ahead of the 2023 FIFA Women World Cup, FIFA has announced it is giving away 20,000 free tickets in four cities of co-host New Zealand- Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Dunedin.

The worries are coming off the heels of FIFA chief women’s football officer Sarai Bareman’s concerns that it was glaringly hard to attract fans to New Zealand because of the country’s lower profile in sporting activities.
