“Let him go to non-World Cup venues,” Infantino begged.
Zurich without tacos.– FIFA set off international alerts after detecting a huge increase in hotel room and Airbnb rentals in Mexico City ahead of the World Cup, a phenomenon that would be caused by the constant presence of Dua Lipa in the country’s capital.
According to an urgent statement issued from Switzerland, soccer’s governing body is concerned that the price escalation will worsen even further if the British woman continues to walk around the city as if she were a resident of the Roma neighborhood.

Likewise, FIFA fears that the capital’s landlords “lose all notion of reality” and begin to charge for lodging and/or rent in euros, dollars or tickets for the rest of the singer’s tour.
Dua Lipa is to blame for Airbnb prices
““We already had a natural increase planned for the World Cup, but we did not consider the Dua Lipa effect,” explained a FIFA official while searching for apartments in Roma and crying silently.
In CDMX the hoteliers saw the World Cup and their mouths watered. Some, like Le Méridien, raised the rooms from 157 to 4 thousand dollars.

As has already been observed, Airbnb owners have updated their ads with phrases such as “five minutes from where Dua Lipa had dinner” or “partial view of the place where Dua Lipa walked with her boyfriend”, raising prices to levels that only soccer players, Arab sheikhs or children of famous filmmakers can afford.
To prevent the situation from further worsening, FIFA is considering implementing emergency measures, including formally asking Dua Lipa not to set foot in the city again until after the World Cup, not even to review the accounts of her taqueria, inviting her, failing that, to visit cities that are not World Cup venues.
