    The Texas Attorney General opened a formal investigation against FIFA for the alleged fraudulent sale of tickets for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in several stadiums in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

    The scandal occurs just weeks before the start of the most important tournament in world soccer, which promises to be one of the most watched in human history.
