FIFA are offering FREE tickets to Monday's Club World Cup clash between Inter Milan and Fluminense.

All of those who paid to see Chelsea thrash Benfica 4-1 at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Saturday have been offered no fewer than FOUR freebies for the fixture at the same venue.

In an email seen by Mail Sport, FIFA say the offer is ‘a token of our appreciation’ after Chelsea’s match against the Portuguese was hit by a weather disruption.

However, some may see it as further evidence that world football’s governing body is struggling to sell tickets for its revamped tournament and a desperate attempt to put more bums on seats.
