New York City mayor Eric Adams has revealed he is already looking for a ticket to watch Morocco at the 2026 World Cup.
Speaking about the tournament that will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico, Adams said he wants to be in the stands when Morocco play, underlining how big the demand is expected to be when the World Cup comes to North America.
The mayor’s comments have quickly drawn attention in Morocco’s community in New York, where support for the national team has grown strongly in recent years. With Morocco set to take part in the expanded World Cup, interest in their matches is expected to be high, and Adams’ remark is being seen as another sign of the team’s rising profile.
The 2026 World Cup will be the first edition with 48 teams, and several cities across the United States will host matches. New York and New Jersey are among the key locations for the tournament, and preparations around the region are already building momentum.
Adams’ message was clear: even the mayor is not taking access for granted, and securing a seat for a Morocco match could be one of the toughest tasks once ticket sales begin.
