President Trump is calling foul on FIFA’s jaw-dropping World Cup ticket prices, plenty of ordinary sports fans probably agree with him.

Speaking to The Post in a phone interview Wednesday night, Trump reacted with disbelief after learning that seats for Team USA’s opening 2026 World Cup match against Paraguay in Los Angeles are already hovering around the $1,000 mark on resale sites.

“I did not know that number,” Trump said. “I would certainly like to be there, but I wouldn’t pay it either, to be honest with you.”

That’s a remarkable admission from a billionaire president who helped bring the tournament to the United States during his first term. But Trump’s bigger point was that the same working-class Americans who packed his rallies may now be locked out of the world’s biggest sporting event while scalpers and corporate fat cats cash in.

“If people from Queens and Brooklyn and all of the people that love Donald Trump can’t go, I would be disappointed,” the president said. “I would like to be able to have the people that voted for me to be able to go.”

And he hinted FIFA’s pricing circus may deserve scrutiny from Washington. “I haven’t seen that, but I would have to take a look at it,” Trump added.

The comments landed just hours after FIFA president Gianni Infantino delivered what sounded less like a sports pitch and more like a Goldman Sachs earnings call. Speaking at the elite Milken Institute conference in Beverly Hills — naturally — the Swiss soccer boss defended “market pricing” and brushed aside complaints from fans getting financially body-slammed.

“We have to look at the market,” Infantino declared. “We are in the market in which entertainment is the most developed in the world, so we have to apply market rates.”

Infantino even joked about resale tickets for the July 19 final at MetLife Stadium topping $2 million online, quipping he’d personally deliver “a hot dog and a Coke” to whoever actually paid it. Real hilarious stuff from the head of a tax-exempt global sports empire reportedly earning around $6 million a year.

Meanwhile, the average ticket for the final is reportedly nearing $13,000 — a staggering leap from roughly $1,600 for the 2022 championship in Qatar. FIFA says more than 5 million tickets have already been sold for the tournament, which will stretch across the United States, Canada and Mexico with an expanded 48-team field and a record 104 matches.

Trump praised those sales figures as proof the event itself remains a monster success.

“I know that is extremely successful,” he said. “Setting every record in the book. They’ve never had anything like it.”

But behind the champagne headlines, cracks are already showing.

Fans across Europe and the Americas have blasted FIFA’s use of dynamic pricing and resale-friendly policies that critics say turned the World Cup into a feeding frenzy for ticket brokers. One European supporters’ group even filed an antitrust complaint accusing FIFA of “excessive” pricing practices. Infantino insists the alternative would be worse.

“In the US, it is permitted to resell tickets as well, so if you were to sell tickets at the price which is too low, these tickets will be resold at a much higher price,” he argued, citing roughly 500 million ticket requests worldwide.

Then came perhaps the most out-of-touch line of all. “You cannot go to watch in the US a college game, not even speaking about a top professional game of a certain level, for less than $300,” Infantino said. “And this is the World Cup.”

Maybe in billionaire conference circles that sounds reasonable. In the real world, plenty of families already struggle to afford NFL games, concerts, or even a night at the movies.

And while FIFA keeps boasting about a projected $30 billion economic windfall tied to the tournament, another warning sign is emerging: hotels aren’t seeing the flood of visitors they expected.

A recent survey from the American Hotel & Lodging Association found nearly 80% of hotels in the 11 U.S. host cities are running below World Cup projections just weeks before kickoff. In Kansas City, operators said demand is trailing even normal summer travel periods.

Industry leaders blame visa delays, expensive airfare, and growing international unease about travel costs and global tensions. Domestic travelers are currently outpacing overseas visitors by a wide margin — hardly ideal for a tournament FIFA hoped would become a global tourism bonanza. Some hotel owners reportedly described the buildup as a “non-event” compared to earlier forecasts.

That disconnect says plenty. Americans clearly want to watch the World Cup. They just don’t want to get fleeced doing it.
