European Commissioner for Sport Glenn Micallef has praised UEFA for the significant steps taken toward ensuring fair and transparent ticket pricing for EURO 2028, following recent updates on the tournament’s fan‑first approach. Speaking after reviewing UEFA’s latest framework, Micallef highlighted the organisation’s commitment to affordability and accessibility, noting that the shift away from controversial dynamic pricing models marks a major win for supporters across Europe.

UEFA has already confirmed that dynamic ticket pricing will not be used for EURO 2028, a decision welcomed by fan groups and policymakers alike. The move aims to prevent sudden price surges and ensure that families and young supporters are not priced out of attending matches.

Micallef emphasised that this progress aligns with the Commission’s broader vision for fairer sports governance, stressing that major tournaments must remain accessible to all. With over three million tickets expected to be made available, the Commissioner expressed confidence that EURO 2028 will set a new benchmark for transparency and fan engagement.
