As fans may have to pay $150 to travel to World Cup<\/a> games at MetLife Stadium this summer, FIFA believes NJ Transit’s “Regional Stadium Mobility Plan” will be a success.<\/p>\n

The FIFA World Cup 2026 New York New Jersey Host Committee and NJ Transit<\/a> announced the plan on Friday, with the price of getting to MetLife Stadium being the hottest topic, along with bans on parking at the stadium.<\/p>\n

But Alex Lasry, the CEO of the Host Committee, said the plan is “built with safety and responsibility at its core.”<\/p>\n

“(We are) ensuring that every fan, worker, and resident can move throughout the region securely during the tournament. It reflects years of planning and coordination\u00a0across our\u00a0transportation partners, and we\u2019re incredibly grateful for their collaboration,” Lasry said in a release.<\/p>\n

“Our focus is on delivering a clear, reliable experience for matchgoers while minimizing disruption and helping residents navigate the increased demand the tournament will bring. We want to ensure the World Cup is an enjoyable experience across our entire region, while showing the world everything New York New Jersey has to offer.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill and FIFA exchanged blows about the ticket prices, with Sherrill imploring FIFA to pay for fans to attend the games.<\/p>\n

“Our administration inherited an agreement where FIFA is providing $0 for transportation to the World Cup \u2014 zero. That leaves New Jersey Transit with a $48 million bill to safely get 40,000 fans to and from every game,” Sherrill said\u00a0in a video<\/u><\/a>. “At the same time, FIFA is making $11 billion off of this World Cup and charging fans up to $10,000 for a single ticket for the final.”<\/p>\n

FIFA FIRES BACK AT NEW JERSEY GOV MIKIE SHERRILL OVER DEMAND TO PAY FOR WORLD CUP TRANSIT TICKETS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I won’t stick New Jersey’s commuters with that tab for years to come \u2014 that’s not fair. So here’s the bottom line: FIFA should pay for the rides, but if they don’t, I’m not going to let New Jersey commuters get taken for one.”<\/p>\n

FIFA said it was “quite surprised” at Sherrill’s unprecedented “approach.”<\/p>\n

“FIFA World Cup will bring millions of fans to North America along with related economic impact. Many fans will travel to NYNJ to enjoy the eight matches scheduled. FIFA is not aware of any other major event previously held at NYNJ Stadium, including other major sports, global concert tours, etc., where organizers were required to pay for fan transportation,” it said.<\/p>\n

The first game played at MetLife Stadium will be June 13, and it will host eight matches, including the final on July 19.<\/p>\n

Under the section “What Fans Should Expect” in its release, NJ Transit and the Host Committee said that “travel will look different from a typical day,” and those not attending games should avoid nonessential travel on match days. Some won’t have a choice, as service out of New York Penn Station to New Jersey will be halted on match days beginning four hours before game time.<\/p>\n

The World Cup begins on June 12 in Los Angeles<\/a> on FOX.<\/p>\n
