Tickets for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final have become the most expensive in the history of American sports, according to a report by Forbes.
The report states that the lowest-priced ticket for the final is listed at $6,943, while the average purchase price has reached $11,327, setting a new record for a sporting event held in the United States.
A premium seat in Section 115A at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey has reportedly been listed at $28,479.
The previous record was held by the 2024 Super Bowl, where the average ticket price stood at $9,411.
Separately, Argentina captain Lionel Messi reflected on his viral 2007 photograph with Spanish football sensation Lamine Yamal, describing it as “one of life’s remarkable coincidences.”
Messi also praised Yamal as one of the world’s best young players and expressed confidence in his bright future.
The photograph resurfaced in 2024 after Yamal’s father shared it on social media during the UEFA European Championship, drawing widespread attention because it showed a young Messi posing with Yamal as a baby.
