Swiss regulators have filed a criminal complaint regarding tokens related to the FIFA World Cup 2026 tickets

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, the Swiss gambling regulator Gespa has filed a criminal complaint with the prosecution, accusing FIFA's "FIFA Collect" platform of providing unauthorized gambling services by selling blockchain tokens linked to World Cup tickets (including "Right to Buy," "Right to Final," etc.).

Gespa stated that the related products partially belong to lotteries and partially to sports betting, and it launched a preliminary investigation into the platform earlier this month. The platform allows token holders to have priority in purchasing tickets or trading on the secondary market, and FIFA has not yet responded. Gespa indicated that it is required by law to notify the competent prosecution upon becoming aware of violations.
