TL;DR

A planned World Cup fan fest at Liberty State Park was canceled four months before kickoff; New Jersey will instead spend $5 million to expand fan experiences across 21 counties, with ticket buyers refunded. The initiative, led by the NJ Economic Development Authority and the NY/NJ Host Committee, aims to bring World Cup activities to communities and support local small businesses and nonprofits.
