FIFA has faced criticism over high ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Donald Trump said he would not pay $1,000 to watch the United States play Paraguay in Los Angeles and said he was unaware of the prices for group-stage matches. FIFA President Gianni Infantino defended the pricing by saying it aligns with major US sporting event costs and that 25% of group-stage tickets cost less than $300. The average price for the final in New Jersey is reported as $13,000, compared with $1,600 for the 2022 final in Qatar. Trump expressed concern that the prices could exclude working-class Americans. FIFA released additional tickets on Thursday for first-come, first-served purchase, and TicketData.com reported average group-stage prices declining over recent days.
