FIFA faces heat as fan transport costs for World Cup 2026 spike in NY-NJ
TL;DR Summary
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill blames FIFA for looming high fan transport prices to World Cup 2026 matches at MetLife Stadium, with NY Transit planning a return fare potentially over $100 for the Penn Station–MetLife route. FIFA says travel will be at cost and notes host-city agreements were revised to cover transport at cost rather than free. Eight matches, including England group play and the final, will be staged at MetLife, and parking costs are also notably high.
