New York City Council Member Zohran Mamdani is proposing a plan to broadcast FIFA World Cup matches for free to the public. The initiative would utilize the city’s network of public information kiosks, equipped with hundreds of displays. Mamdani aims to make the tournament accessible to a wider audience, particularly those without access to television or streaming services. The proposal seeks to leverage existing city infrastructure to provide a communal viewing experience. Details regarding the cost and logistical implementation of the plan are still under development. Supporters argue the broadcasts would foster community engagement and celebrate the global event. The plan is currently under consideration by city officials.
