Zohran Mamdani announces 1,000 World Cup tickets at $50 each with free transport for NYC residents

Zohran Mamdani has launched a subsidised ticket programme offering 1,000 New Yorkers $50 access to select 2026 FIFA World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium, including free transport. Framed as a response to soaring ticket and travel costs, the initiative follows Mamdanis long-running criticism of FIFAs pricing policies and aims to keep working-class football fans connected to the tournament.
