New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has publicly criticised FIFA after reports that NJ Transit will charge $100 for a round-trip ticket from New York Penn Station to MetLife Stadium for 2026 World Cup matches. Sherrill argues that taxpayers should not bear the financial burden of hosting costs and says FIFA should foot the bill. The controversy adds to growing scrutiny over pricing at the upcoming tournament.
