FIFA is under fire after many fans trying to enter Khalifa International Stadium for Monday's match between England and Iran were unable to access their tickets due to problems with the ticketing app.
According to Yahoo Sports, tickets were disappearing from people's accounts in the hours before the game, which meant they had nothing for gate attendants to scan.
