France's national football team is set to begin its World Cup campaign on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, against Senegal in New York City. The match, part of the group stage, has generated significant excitement, with ticket prices reaching up to €2000 on secondary markets.
According to verified reports, French fans were scarce in the Big Apple until the start of the week, but a surge began on Monday evening, with many gathering at Times Square. The high demand has driven prices to 'hallucinating' levels, as described by some observers.
The match is a key fixture for both teams, with France aiming to defend its title and Senegal seeking to make an impact. No official statement from FIFA or the teams regarding ticket pricing has been released as of June 17, 2026.
