World Cup tickets too expensive for fans in poorer countries

World Cup tickets for 2026 are pricing out fans in less wealthy nations. In Mexico City, seats cost $759—impossible for most Mexicans to afford. High costs have also hurt hotel and flight bookings in U.S. cities. Tickets range from $11.50 to $8,680, showing FIFA cares more about making money than letting everyone watch. This breaks its promise that the World Cup brings people together.
