Tim Weah, Zohran Mamdani, New York City
21 May 2026
Tim Weah backed New York City’s plan to offer 1,000 discounted World Cup tickets at MetLife Stadium, saying football should stay accessible to local communities. The initiative covers selected group and knockout matches for city residents.
The campaign followed talks involving Mayor Zohran Mamdani, FIFA and the New York/New Jersey host committee. Weah’s support continued his earlier criticism of high ticket prices, despite Mauricio Pochettino previously urging players to focus on football.
