FIFA and New Jersey Clash Over MetLife Stadium Grass Sale

After the 2026 World Cup final, the grass from MetLife Stadium will be encased in resin for sale. FIFA argues the scheme undermines the sport’s sanctity, while New Jersey officials highlight the economic opportunity.

The proposed price tag is $11. 2 million, with the most basic package offered at $450.

The disagreement has reignited talks between the governing body and the state.
