The FIFA 2026 World Cup is expected to be unique, but at the same time very expensive for fans, as a ticket to watch the USA in their first match, against Paraguay on June 12, has gone up to $1. This is a high figure even for Donald Trump, with the US president interjecting in a phone conversation with the New York Post: "I was not aware of this figure. I would have liked to see it in the stadium, but I would not pay this figure to watch this match", Trump initially said.
The USA will play at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles against Paraguay, but ticket prices are skyrocketing, making them unaffordable for a large portion of ordinary American citizens: "I don't have any official announcement about this yet, but I'll be interested", Trump emphasized.
The US President has also expressed concern about the fact that the "working class", those who voted for him, will not be able to be present at the stadium: "I would like those people who trusted me and voted for me to have the opportunity to be in the stadium, but with these numbers it is impossible", said Trump, who, among other things, added that this World Cup is expected to be extraordinary, the impact of which in the US has long begun to be felt.
