EXCLUSIVEFIFA moving fans to face television cameras to avoid viewers seeing empty stadiums at Club World Cup as revamped tournaments fails to sell tickets

FIFA are moving fans to face television cameras in an apparent bid to make stadiums at the Club World Cup appear full.

Mail Sport understands some of those who have bought tickets for the expanded tournament, which kicks off tonight, have found their seats shifted amid growing concerns over poor sales numbers.

Insiders at the governing body, who signed a $1bn deal with Dazn to broadcast the competition across the globe, have insisted that none of those impacted will find themselves in seats that are lower priced than the ones they originally purchased and that some will end up in better seats.
