Ticket holders for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will spend exorbitant amounts just to park their cars at next year’s tournament, with prices on FIFA’s official website reaching $175 per parking ticket.

These figures, first published by The Athletic, astonished sports fans in America, a country known for its reliance on cars and one of the three host countries for the championship, along with Canada and Mexico.

A “parking” ticket for the July 14 semi-final in Dallas was priced at $175 on Tuesday, while a parking ticket for a group stage match was set at $75

Parking for the quarter-final game in Kansas City on July 11 will cost ticket holders $125, while parking for group stage games costs $75.

As for FIFA, which used flexible pricing for the first phase of ticket sales for the tournament, the price of tickets to attend matches in the group stage started at $60.

Only a few of the 16 stadiums that will host World Cup matches in Canada, Mexico and the United States had put their private parking tickets on sale online until Tuesday.

Mexico City, which will host the first match of the tournament, and New York/New Jersey, which will host the final, were among the cities that did not yet have parking facilities
