Former President Trump’s watching closely, joking he got lucky losing to be around for this spectacle—and maybe even a US vs. Iran showdown during America’s 250th birthday. Meanwhile, the tournament’s pricing model is a case study in “K-shaped” inequality: ticket prices hit record highs, fueled by dynamic pricing that prioritizes profit over access, squeezing fans already stretched thin by travel and lodging costs. While FIFA promises global investment, the real cost? A brutal financial strain on supporters—and a glaring mirror of economic divides.
