New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill and New York leaders are criticizing FIFA for failing to contribute toward the $48 million transit cost for the 2026 World Cup, threatening ticket price hikes for fans.
Most coverage centers on Sherrill’s demand that FIFA cover World Cup transit costs: Reuters describes her push for a subsidy, while Fox News foregrounds reports of NJ Transit tickets topping $100. NJ.com also reports her call for commuter discounts during game-related disruptions, while the New York Post covers FIFA’s response.
