A British Columbia non-profit is cancelling a raffle for World Cup tickets after receiving a letter from FIFA’s lawyers, according to multiple Canadian outlets. The charity had been promoting the raffle as a fundraiser, offering tickets tied to the tournament. After the legal correspondence, the charity says it is required to scrap the event rather than proceed as planned. The reports focus on FIFA’s legal intervention and the resulting cancellation of the ticket raffle, rather than on details of the charity’s fundraising structure or FIFA’s specific legal claims in the letter. Both outlets describe the same sequence: the charity recently receives the letter from FIFA’s legal team, then cancels the raffle as a response. The coverage does not indicate that FIFA has publicly announced any separate penalty beyond requiring the raffle to be stopped, and it does not describe whether the charity can offer an alternative fundraising activity. Overall, the story centres on how FIFA’s legal action affects a BC charity’s planned fundraising for the World Cup.
