On June 13th, the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey will host the highly anticipated clash between Morocco and Brazil during the group stage. To allow the general public to attend, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled an unprecedented program from the Harlem neighborhood. One hundred fifty tickets for this match will be offered to residents at the price of 50 dollars, including round-trip bus transportation. The lucky winners will be seated in the upper stands of this 82,000-capacity venue.

The allocation will be determined by lottery draw between May 25th and 30th, with a limit set at 50,000 daily registrations. Each winner may purchase a maximum of two tickets. To prevent speculation, these tickets will be personalized, non-transferable, and issued on the day of the match. This initiative, conducted in collaboration with the local organizing committee and without FIFA’s participation, makes New York the only host city to guarantee such access to its residents for 2026.

This operation directly addresses the surge in costs surrounding the event. The international federation’s dynamic pricing system has driven prices to several hundred dollars, while public transportation announced train fares at 105 dollars, compared to 13 normally. A passionate football enthusiast, the New York official criticized this financial logic. "Often, the people who get tickets the fastest are not those who want to be there the most, but those who are most excited about the prospect of profit," he stated, lamenting the exclusion of true fans.
