Authorities in New York and New Jersey have reportedly launched an investigation into FIFA’s ticket sales practices for the 2026 FIFA World Cup following growing complaints from fans over soaring prices and disputed seating assignments.
The attorneys general of both states have jointly issued subpoenas to FIFA as part of the probe, which centres on matches scheduled to take place at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey — officially renamed New York/New Jersey Stadium for the tournament.
