Will US travel bans hurt the 2026 @FIFAWorldCup? "We will make sure that all the teams, the players, the officials can come ... family members, and even fans," FIFA President Gianni Infantino tells @maxwelltani. "We are in constant discussions with the American government."

“Hard not to feel scammed.” By now, the word is out - World Cup tickets are eye-wateringly expensive. But some buyers have noticed an extra sting. Despite purchasing Category 1 tickets, a redrawing of multiple stadium seating maps has led to confusion and frustration that they didn't get what they paid for. @HenryBushnell investigates ⤵️ 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/71756…
