The 2026 FIFA World Cup, which began on June 11, has made history as the largest tournament to date.
2026年國際足總世界盃(FIFA World Cup)於6月11日揭幕，創下了迄今為止規模最大的賽事紀錄。
Co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico, this massive event features 48 teams competing across 104 matches over 39 days.
這場由美國、加拿大和墨西哥共同主辦的盛會，共有48支球隊在39天內進行104場比賽。
A primary issue is the dynamic pricing model for tickets, with premium seats for the final reaching over $32,000.
首要問題是門票的動態定價模式，決賽的頂級席位價格超過3萬2千美元。
This has sparked widespread criticism that loyal fans are being priced out, evidenced by reports of empty seats at early matches.
這引發了廣泛批評，認為忠實球迷被高昂票價拒之門外，早期比賽出現空位即為例證。
FIFA maintains that high demand justifies the costs and highlights the availability of $60 entry-level tickets.
國際足總堅持認為高需求合理化了成本，並強調仍有60美元的入門級門票可供選擇。
Beyond costs, logistics remain a daunting task.
除了成本，物流仍是一項艱鉅的任務。
Spanning 16 cities, the tournament requires coordinating complex transportation networks, moving massive amounts of equipment, and navigating cross-border security protocols.

While FIFA has introduced systems like the 'FIFA PASS' to ease travel, visa and immigration hurdles persist.
雖然國際足總引入了「FIFA PASS」等系統來簡化交通，但簽證和移民障礙依然存在。
Additionally, while the tournament promises long-term economic rewards, many local businesses are still waiting for the expected surge in revenue.
此外，儘管賽事承諾帶來長期經濟回報，許多當地企業仍在等待預期的營收增長。
As the tournament continues through July 19, the world is watching to see how these ambitious hosts manage such an unprecedented undertaking.
隨著賽事持續至7月19日，全球都在關注這些雄心勃勃的主辦國如何應對這項前所未有的工程。
