FIFA World Cup: Fraud patterns seen at previous major tournaments are already emerging around the FIFA World Cup 2026, exposing fans and ticket sellers to heightened risks, a report said on Thursday.

The report from ACI Worldwide found that fraudulent orders averaged $405 during the pre‑tournament build, about 1.5 times the $270 legitimate average and average transaction values rose 1.2 per cent.

The firm suggested that average fraudulent transaction values could again approach $400 during the 2026 World Cup.
