Governor of New Jersey Seeks FIFA's Help to Cover Transportation Costs in 2026 World Cup

During the 2026 World Cup, public transportation to attend the matches can cost over $100 per trip, leading the governor of New Jersey, Mikie Sherrill, to request financial assistance from FIFA. Reports indicate that train tickets from New York to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey will exceed $100, a fare significantly higher than the usual $12.90 for that route.

Claim to FIFA for Affordable Transportation

Sherrill has stated that she does not intend to burden New Jersey travelers with these excessive costs and believes that FIFA should cover the expenses. Should FIFA refuse to take responsibility, the governor will not allow the residents of New Jersey to be exploited in this regard. Previously, New York Governor Kathy Hochul expressed on social media the importance of making transportation during the World Cup affordable and accessible for everyone.
