The 2026 World Cup final at New York New Jersey Stadium experienced long queues for supporters due to heightened security measures.
Supporters faced long queues to get into New York New Jersey Stadium amid heightened security for the 2026 World Cup final.
Spain face Argentina at the 82,500-seater venue, with kick-off at 15:00 local time (20:00 BST).
There is increased security partly because United States president Donald Trump is attending the final - the only World Cup match he is watching in person.
As a result, the United States Secret Service took over security for the game - leading to long waits for supporters to get into the ground.
