FIFA is facing criticism for parking costs at the 2026 World Cup in the USA,with prices reaching up to $175 (approximately 151 euros) for semi-final and third-place matches in Arlington,Texas,and Miami. The high costs,in some instances exceeding the price of game tickets,come as the tournament expands to 48 teams across the United States,Canada,and Mexico.
FIFA published parking prices for the 2026 World Cup, revealing a $75 (around 65 euros) charge for a parking spot at a group game in Kansas City. Stadiums in Arlington and Miami will charge up to $175 for later-stage matches. Prices for parking at the final in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and for games in Canada and Mexico have not yet been released.
Details regarding the proximity of parking spaces to the stadiums are also currently unavailable, with FIFA stating buyers will receive this details at a later date. Venues, primarily NFL stadiums, will have reduced parking availability due to closures or alternative uses. The Athletic reported on the delayed release of parking location details.
