Much of the Earth’s population will be focused for two hours on MetLife Stadium, where 80,000 spectators, along with an estimated 1.8 billion people watching on television and livestreams, will witness the final game of the 2026 World Cup, between Lionel Messi and Argentina and Lamine Yamal and Spain.
…
The final will be the first between two primarily Spanish-speaking countries since Uruguay beat Argentina in the first World Cup in 1930 — a game that, as some outlets have declared, “hablará totalmente en español” (“will speak entirely in Spanish”).

For the final, FIFA’s original ticket prices ranged from about $2,000 to $6,000. Now many are listed for about $8,000 to $47,000 on the resale market.
