    World Cup 2026 prices: New York’s £111 train fares will have ‘chilling effect’, says Fifa

    MetLife Stadium – which will be named New York/New Jersey Stadium during the World Cup as part of Fifa’s policy on corporate sponsored names – will host eight matches, including an England group game, and the final on 19 July.

    Train fares for matches at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, outside Boston, have also been vastly increased to $80 (£59), with coach tickets costing $95 (£70).

    Sherrill said that Fifa should subsidise the cost of public transport for World Cup games this summer.

    The governor posted on X, external that her administration “inherited an agreement where Fifa is providing $0 for transportation” while NJ Transit has a bill of $48m (£35m), and claimed the tournament organisers will make $11bn (£8.1bn).

    “To arbitrarily set elevated prices and demand Fifa absorb these costs is unprecedented,” Fifa’s Schirgi added.

    “No other global event, concert or major sporting promoter has faced such a demand.

    “While Fifa is projected to generate approximately $11bn in revenue, not profit, as the governor incorrectly claims, Fifa has always been a not-for-profit organisation as per our statutes.

    “Revenues from the Fifa World Cup are reinvested into developing the game of football, particularly for youth and women, worldwide.”

    He added that host city agreements were signed in 2018 and that Fifa had already worked with the host committee to develop a transportation plan that “provides efficient and accessible mass transit options” for fans attending the eight matches in New Jersey.
