New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has launched a public petition against Fifa’s use of dynamic pricing for World Cup tickets, telling the Guardian that it amounts to an “affront to the game.”
Mamdani’s rise from little-known state assemblyman to heavily favored Democratic frontrunner for the mayoralty of the largest city in the United States has been one of the political stories of the year – not least because he identifies as a socialist, and has stumped for policies that most in his party either do not believe in, or are hesitant to support publicly.
