U.S. men’s national team boss Mauricio Pochettino did not share American winger Tim Weah’s recent critique of 2026 FIFA World Cup ticket prices, insisting it is not their “duty to evaluate the price of the ticket” but rather just to “perform on the pitch.”
Weah previously labeled prices for this summer’s tournament as “too expensive” and voiced his concerns about “real fans” missing out on attending the 2026 World Cup, unfolding across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Since the draw in December, ticket prices have soared into the thousands for a single game, with a Category 1 ticket for the World Cup final coming in at $8,680.
