The 2026 World Cup takes place in the USA. Mexico and Canada are also hosts. Many fans look forward to the big party. There is now good news for travelers. The US government changes its rules for visa.
Visitors from 50 countries usually pay a deposit. This costs between 5,000 and 15,000 dollars. That is a lot of money. The USA stops this payment now. This applies to fans with a valid ticket.
Players and coaches also pay no deposit. Fans from countries like Senegal benefit from this. Travel to the USA is now easier for many people. The government wants more visitors.
But there are problems with ticket sales. The state of California checks the FIFA now. The top lawyer wrote a letter to the FIFA. He suspects a break of the law. Many fans are very angry.
They bought expensive tickets for the best category. Later they got bad seats. These seats were much cheaper before. Some fans sit behind the goal. They should sit in the middle of the stadium.
Travel prices go down too. New York and New Jersey lower costs for fans. The FIFA says: Demand for tickets is huge. Over 5 million tickets are sold. The World Cup begins on June 11.
