Worldwide fans pack stadiums in various FIFA World Cup 2026 host cities

DALLAS, Texas (KVIA) -- The FIFA World Cup is underway, and fans from all around the globe have been filling up most of the host cities' stadiums, bringing the tournament's euphoria to the U.S.

ABC-7 spoke with fans in Dallas, including some from the border region, who explained that they chose the city due to its relative proximity to El Paso and the pricing, particularly when compared to Mexico, where tickets have reportedly been more expensive than some of those offered in the United States.
