“Game Over Greed”: NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Calls on FIFA to Abandon Price Gouging

HeadlineSep 11, 2025

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is calling on FIFA to abandon dynamic pricing for the 2026 Men’s World Cup, as part of his “Game Over Greed” petition. Here’s Mamdani yesterday.

Zohran Mamdani: “It hurts because we know that while New York City is proud to be one of the hosts of the World Cup final next year, so many of our neighbors will not afford to be able to be there. They will not afford to be able to be there because FIFA is quadrupling the max ticket price that it will charge in order to be in attendance. They will not afford to be able to be there because FIFA is now deciding to use dynamic pricing for the first time in its history.”
