2026 World Cup Faces Ticket and Visa Challenges
The 2026 World Cup edition kicks off today with 48 teams participating for the first time, hosted jointly by the United States, Mexico, and Canada, with expectations of reaching record revenues of up to $13 billion. The tournament has faced criticism over ticket prices, some exceeding $30,000, but FIFA President Gianni Infantino defended the prices, noting that the lowest ticket costs $60.

Infantino emphasized that FIFA does not control all events and pointed out that U.S. President Trump supported the organization of the tournament.
