## Resource

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum is taking FIFA to task over sky-high World Cup ticket prices, some hitting $23 million on the resale market, calling for soccer to prioritize unity over profit. While acknowledging the tournament’s business model, she argues it must remain inclusive — especially as tickets soared from $140 and left many Mexicans priced out. Her government’s “Social World Cup” initiative offers free public screenings, drawing half a million fans in Mexico City alone for the opener. She even gifted her own ticket to a young Indigenous female player, underscoring her commitment to making soccer accessible to all.
