FIFA and New Jersey officials are in conflict over FIFA’s plan to sell pieces of the World Cup final pitch for memorabilia, with prices ranging from $450 to $3,000. New Jersey taxpayers funded over $13 million for the pitch’s installation, leading state leaders to assert they deserve a share of the profits. Concerns have been raised about the legality of selling taxpayer-funded property without approval. Governor Sherrill and Assemblyman Inganamort emphasize that any revenue should benefit New Jersey taxpayers.
