NEW: FIFA has dropped ‘POR ELLA’, the new official song for the 2026 World Cup, featuring Los Angeles Azules and Belinda! 🏆🎤🕺


FIFA released a spicy statement from World Cup COO Heimo Schirgi responding to NJ Transit’s $150 roundtrip train announcement, and shouted out other cities who are keeping public transit cheap. “The NJ Transit current pricing model will have a chilling effect,” Schirgi says.



Aquí estamos al millón, ¡porque al cien cualquiera! 💥 Qué honor para nosotros compartir nuevamente con nuestra amiga @belindapop en esta cumbia para la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 2026™️. ⚽️💙 ¡Ya pueden escuchar #PorElla en todas las plataformas! fifasound.lnk.to/Porella



NEW: NJ Transit has confirmed that a train ticket between MetLife Stadium and NYC for the World Cup will cost $150 USD, via The Athletic. Parking at the stadium has also been banned MetLife Stadium is under 9 miles away from New York City.

🚨 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟: Train tickets for World Cup games will be $150 for a return rail trip from New York's Penn Station to MetLife Stadium. Tickets are $12.90 on any normal day.

I'm at the press briefing where New Jersey authorities and World Cup organizers confirmed match day transit costs. The NJ Transit train will cost $150 each for 40,000 fans per match. The host committee's shuttle bus will cost $80 each for 10,000 fans. Full story to follow.

The special event fare has been confirmed for a journey that usually costs $12.90 (£9.50) for a return ticket. That price will be $150 (£110.75) during the tournament. The stadium will host eight matches, including an England group game, and the final on 19 July.

The United States is so toxic on the world stage right now that it can’t fill hotels or sell World Cup tickets. Let that land. FIFA projected $30.5 billion in economic impact from millions of international visitors. That demand never showed up. Hotels in Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and San Francisco have slashed match-day rates by a third from their peak. FIFA has cancelled tens of thousands of reserved rooms across all 16 host cities. Some hotels report cancellation rates above 95%. The reasons aren’t hard to find. Anti-American sentiment. Fear of border crossings. The Iran war driving up oil prices and airfares. And tickets priced into the stratosphere, with finals seats hitting $10,990 a pop. Industry executives are now openly blaming the Trump administration for the shortfall. Tourism economists say the Iran war made an already bad sentiment problem worse. Empty stadiums are now a real possibility. It happened at the Club World Cup last summer. It could happen again, on American soil, at the biggest sporting event on the planet. The White House says this will be “the greatest World Cup ever.” The market disagrees. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1
