New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has criticized FIFA over projected transportation costs for the 2026 World Cup, highlighting plans for $100 train tickets from New York to MetLife Stadium. She attributes the high prices to FIFA's involvement and is calling on the organization to help subsidize fan travel expenses.
Sherrill emphasized the importance of affordable access for fans attending the tournament, warning that current pricing could limit attendance and impact the overall experience. Her remarks reflect growing concern about the financial burden on spectators planning to use rail services during the event.
