The Netherlands will enter the World Cup with familiar expectations and demons.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be the biggest tournament in soccer history, spread across 16 cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico. For millions of fans, getting to the games may prove almost as challenging as the matches themselves.With airfares climbing, gasoline prices rising and airport security lines stretching patience to the limit, North America's rail and bus operators see the month-long tournament as a rare opportunity: a chance to persuade travelers to swap planes and cars for trains, buses and public transit.For transportation providers, the World Cup is more than a sporting spectacle. It is a high-stakes audition before a global audience."We want you to be able to use our system seamlessly from the minute you decide to come to the World Cup, all the way into the games, and after that to get home," said Conan Cheung, chief operations officer for LA Metro, the public transportation authority serving the Los Angeles region.Los Angeles, which will host eight matches including the U.S. team's opening game, hopes the tournament will help reshape perceptions of a city often synonymous with traffic jams and sprawling freeways.For Cheung, the objective extends beyond impressing foreign visitors. The World Cup is also an opportunity to convince more Angelenos to embrace a public transportation system that has expanded significantly in recent years.That challenge resonates across much of the United States and Canada, where public transit networks are often less extensive than those found in Europe or Asia and where private vehicles remain the preferred mode of transport."Transit providers have an opportunity to provide service to a group of people who do not typically use transit on a day-to-day basis," said Yonah Freemark, a principal research associate at the Washington-based Urban Institute."Many of the World Cup fans coming from the U.S. or Canada do not necessarily use transit services regularly."The impressions those travelers form during the tournament could have lasting consequences."They should be making sure that the services they provide are high quality and not too expensive, because the people who are riding them are going to form an impression of those transit agencies — and there's a chance to really prove that they can provide a good service," Freemark said.Opportunity meets realityYet attracting new riders may prove easier than accommodating them.The World Cup's 104 matches will unfold across four time zones and thousands of miles, placing enormous demands on transportation networks already operating close to capacity.Ground transportation companies are eager to capitalize on soaring airline costs, but many are also wrestling with higher operating expenses of their own, particularly fuel prices.That leaves operators balancing competing priorities: attracting new customers while avoiding disruptions or price increases that could alienate the commuters who rely on them every day.For intercity bus giant FlixBus, the tournament represents a significant growth opportunity.Together with sister brand Greyhound, the company operates one of North America's largest transportation networks and says demand between host cities is already accelerating, with some departures sold out and others filling rapidly.Ahead of the tournament, the company has invested heavily in new buses and technology while placing renewed emphasis on punctuality."What is critical here is every Flix experience needs to be a happy one. That's how we actually grow our business. And this is a great opportunity," said Flix North America CEO Kai Boysan."We will welcome all the new customers and we want them to see what a change we've done and what a great experience they're going to have."Boysan believes buses are well-positioned to benefit from frustrations increasingly associated with air travel."Airports are congested and the costs are rising. And clearly travelers are naturally looking for alternatives. And there we come into effect," he said.The price problemWhile operators hope to lure travelers away from planes, some transit agencies have faced criticism for sharply increasing fares during the tournament.Few examples generated more backlash than New Jersey Transit, whose train service between Manhattan and MetLife Stadium — venue for eight matches including the July 19 final — initially carried a round-trip fare of $150 for a journey that normally costs less than $13.NJ Transit argued that the increase was necessary to cover approximately $48 million in additional costs related to security, crowd management and World Cup operations.Public criticism forced a rethink.The agency subsequently lowered the fare to $98 after securing additional advertising revenue, while shuttle bus prices on the same route were cut to $20 from the originally proposed $80 after organizers arranged additional capacity through local school buses.Boston has also announced higher event-day transportation prices. Round-trip rail tickets between downtown Boston and the stadium hosting seven World Cup matches will cost $80, compared with the usual $20 to $30, while a bus ride will cost $95.The fare hikes have drawn criticism from politicians, including U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer."Charging more than 11 times the normal fare for a train ride is a ripoff, plain and simple. FIFA is making billions from this World Cup," Schumer said after the original New Jersey fare was announced."FIFA should cover the ride, not stick New York fans with the bill."FIFA has countered that high transit costs could encourage fans to seek alternative ways to reach stadiums and noted that comparable international sporting events have generally not required organizers to fund transportation impacts.Different approachesNot every city has opted for higher prices.In Los Angeles, riders heading to World Cup matches will pay standard fares."Our regular fare is $1.75, so people will be able to pay that," said Cheung. "We will honor all of the discounts we have."Philadelphia is going a step further.Fans attending matches in the city will pay just $2.90 to travel to the stadium by train and receive a free ride home, courtesy of tournament sponsor Airbnb.National rail operator Amtrak is also preparing for increased demand as supporters move between host cities throughout the month-long competition."We are fully committed to running a world-class railroad ... and ensuring our infrastructure is ready to accommodate new and returning guests," said W. Kyle Anderson, Amtrak's director of communications.For transportation providers across North America, the World Cup offers a fleeting but valuable chance to showcase what their systems can do.The tournament will crown a world champion on the field. Away from the stadiums, trains, buses and transit networks will be competing in a contest of their own — to convince millions of travelers that public transportation can be fast, reliable and worth returning to long after the final whistle.

‘FUNDING, funding and regular funding’ is what Pakistani women athletes say they need most to compete internationally. Talent alone, they point out, cannot take them to the world stage; it must be backed by quality equipment, top-notch coaching, proper training facilities, nutrition and the means to travel and compete. For most athletes, both male and female, except those supported by the departmental sports system such as the Pakistan Army, Wapda, the Higher Education Commission, National Bank, Pakistan Railways, police and airlines, the struggle begins long before competition day: finding the resources simply to stay in the game. State patronage is limited, private sponsorship even scarcer — and for women, almost non-existent. Even for female athletes with supportive families or relatively privileged backgrounds, funding remains a constant struggle. Eman Khan, who won the gold at the 2024 International Mixed Martial Arts Federation Asian Championships, receives only sporadic private sponsorships. To sustain her career in the intensely male-dominated and often ‘violent’ world of the martial arts, she relies on coaching others to fund her own training and competition expenses. The barriers are even greater for girls from Pakistan’s remotest and poorest districts. Without sponsors or financial backing, many are forced to quit before their talent is ever discovered; this is not just an individual but also a national loss. Stadiums are largely empty and media attention wanes when it comes to women playing sports. In Jacobabad, the Star Women’s Sports Academy, the only women’s sports club in Larkana division, trains 32 girls from low-income homes in football, hockey, cricket and tennis for free. But with little funding and a severe shortage of equipment, many aspiring players are turned away. The club cannot afford to send athletes to private tournaments. Founded in 2017 by hockey player Erum Baloch, in April the academy had to appeal on social media for basic gear — goalkeeping kits, hockey sticks and balls. Baloch, who teaches at a private institution, uses much of her own salary to keep the club — her passion — running. Help poured in from ordinary citizens and philanthropists. Even a sportswoman from Peshawar rushed to ensure the girls had the equipment they needed to continue playing. The appeal is a stark reflection of the lack of official support for women’s sports. Similarly, last year, after reading about the plight of these athletes, the Australian high commission helped fund a hockey training camp for them in Islamabad. However, ad hoc support and one-off training cannot produce national or international athletes. When coaches constantly scramble for basic equipment, training becomes inconsistent, eroding the very backbone of competitive sport. Star Academy is far from the only women’s sports club trudging along with limited resources. Founders in Karachi, Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas say they often reach into their own pockets to keep girls playing — from water to rickshaw fares, they even buy shoes for those who cannot afford them. At the same time, they have to spend hours convincing hesitant parents to let their daughters continue. But this financial strain is intertwined with harassment within the system. Coaches have observed that girls from poorer, more conservative homes — some describe their charges as ‘less educated, less confident and unable to speak in English’ — often become a target of sexual harassment. Many girls stay quiet for fear of being pressured to leave the sports premises — or the sport itself. Others, the coaches allege, are sidelined (even if talented) as ‘punishment’ for refusing the inappropriate advances of male officials who influence selection and careers. Another reason why women’s sport remains chronically underfunded compared to men’s, said Dr Sadia Sheikh, founder of Pakistan’s first women’s sports club, Diya Academy (established in 2002), is that: “Women’s sports are less marketable.” “Inn ki tau kal shadi ho jai ge; hum ko kiya return milay ga?” (Tomorrow these women will get married; if we invest in them, what returns will we get?) is a common excuse by corporations for turning them away, she said. This dismissive attitude, pointed out Dr Sheikh, is reinforced by the lacklustre viewership: stadiums remain largely empty and media attention wanes when it comes to women playing sports. However, in sports such as cricket and football, there has been some positive development of late. The state and private sponsors are investing in female athletes. The latter receive enviable packages (though not equal to their male counterparts’) consisting of comfortable accommodation, good meals, daily allowances and even salaries or stipends, when compared to female athletes in other sports. They are even sent abroad for training and also get a chance to play against international teams. Yet women in field hockey remain under the radar. It would be worth asking if our women’s national hockey team has qualified for the 2026 16-nation World Cup set to be held in Belgium and the Netherlands in August. Surely a country whose national sport is hockey must have a strong women’s team to be sent alongside its male counterpart! Recently, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif approved budgetary allocations to promote sports and supported a sports endowment fund for veterans, while also pledging “all-out support” and equal opportunities for women in sport. However, a dedicated national fund for women athletes is yet to be announced. But there is still time to act. The Pakistan Sports Board, along with the national federations, is drafting a four-year athlete development programme and has sought a budget increase from Rs1.2 billion to Rs4.9bn to support training, coaching, infrastructure and international participation. Before the PM gives his final approval, and before flagship projects, such as the Rs2.85bn Arshad Nadeem High Performance Sports Academy in Islamabad or the Rs 241 million multi-purpose sports complex in Faisalabad move ahead, it is worth asking what place, if any, women athletes occupy in this vision. Their struggles are systemic. The answer lies not only in more funding, but in fairer allocation, stronger governance, greater media visibility and genuine inclusion. Without that, financial investment will not change the game. The writer is an independent journalist based in Karachi. X: @zofeen28 Published in Dawn, June 3rd, 2026

Opnieuw werden gisteren meerdere hardlopers onwel tijdens hardloopwedstrijden in Utrecht, Amersfoort en Groningen. Vanwege de drukkende warmte moesten de veiligheidsdiensten flink opschalen. In zowel Amersfoort als Utrecht werd iemand gereanimeerd. Het roept de vraag op of het rond deze tijd van het jaar niet te warm is om een hardloopwedstrijd te organiseren. Moeten hardloopevenementen in de steeds warmer wordende lente- en zomermaanden niet verplaatst worden naar eerder of later in het jaar? Nee, zeggen verschillende organisaties van hardloopwedstrijden tegen de NOS. Met de juiste starttijden moet het gewoon kunnen, vinden zij. En: "We willen jaarrond een mooie hardloopkalender aanbieden", zegt directeur Wim Nuyts van Golazo, de organisator achter de marathon in Utrecht gisteren. 'Jaarlijks op de agenda' In Groningen waren gisteren te weinig ambulances om alle slachtoffers te behandelen. Ambulances uit Drenthe en Overijssel werden opgeroepen om te helpen. Zeven deelnemers werden onwel, van wie twee naar het ziekenhuis werden gebracht. Bij de Utrecht Marathon werd één persoon onwel, in Amersfoort ging het om twee deelnemers. Ook vorig jaar werden hardlopers onwel door de warmte. In Leeuwarden overleed een deelnemer, net als in Enschede. Hitte is dan ook een belangrijk thema voor organisaties van hardloopwedstrijden. "Het is een kwestie die jaarlijks bij ons op de agenda staat", zegt Tjeerd Scheffer van de Leiden Marathon, die in mei plaatsvindt. "We zijn ooit verhuisd van juli naar mei. Ik moet zeggen dat de temperaturen een beetje zijn meeverhuisd. Toch ziet hij geen reden om het evenement opnieuw te verplaatsen naar een andere datum. "Het kan warm zijn in mei, maar tegelijkertijd waren de weersomstandigheden tijdens heel wat edities prima." Eerder starten Er zijn genoeg mogelijkheden om het risico op problemen verkleinen, zegt Scheffer. Veel organisaties adviseren hun deelnemers om van te voren voldoende te drinken, niet te veel kleding te dragen en te trainen in de warmte. Ook toeschouwers kunnen helpen: de marathon in Leiden vroeg hen vorig jaar om met sproeiers te zorgen voor verkoeling langs het parcours. Daarnaast begonnen de halve en hele marathon dat jaar een uur eerder. Ook met koelbaden kunnen organisaties hitteberoertes voorkomen: Ook evenementenorganisatie Le Champion houdt in het programma rekening met de warmte. Twee edities geleden mochten de laatste lopers vanwege de weersomstandigheden niet meer van start. Daarom begon de editie van afgelopen jaar vroeger in de ochtend. Evenementenbedrijf Golazo organiseert vanwege de warmte geen hardloopwedstrijden in juli en augustus. Maar in mei, juni en september zijn er wel evenementen, zoals de marathon van Utrecht, marathon van Groningen, Maastrichts Mooiste en Tilburg Ten Miles. "We doen dat op een manier dat ze behouden kunnen blijven", zegt directeur Nuyts. Zo is er goed nagedacht over het programma in Utrecht, zegt Nuyts. Eerst gaat de halve marathon van start, daarna de hele. "Marathonlopers zijn vaak nog beter voorbereid, kennen hun lichaam beter, en kunnen dus beter omgaan met de omstandigheden." Praktische problemen Maar die voorzorgsmaatregelen zijn dus niet altijd voldoende om gezondheidsproblemen te voorkomen. De halve marathon in Utrecht begon gisteren om 09.00 uur, de hele marathon ging om 10.30 uur van start. Nog vroeger starten is volgens Nuyts geen optie. "Dat heeft te maken met het openbaar vervoer. Mensen moeten er wel kunnen komen. En je werkt ook met vrijwilligers die er moeten geraken." Ook de andere genoemde oplossing - hardloopwedstrijden in koudere maanden organiseren - is niet praktisch, vinden de verschillende organisaties. "Je zit dan al snel in de weg van andere evenementen", zegt Scheffer van de Leiden Marathon. Hardlopers moeten het hele jaar door wedstrijden kunnen rennen, zegt Nuyts van Golazo. Als je alle hardloopevenementen in de eerste maanden van het jaar houdt, is er volgens hem geen mooie kalender. Bovendien is oververhitting eerder in het jaar niet uitgesloten, zegt Scheffer. "Als je in april een wedstrijd organiseert en het is warm, dan ben je helemaal in de aap gelogeerd." Omdat hardlopers dan nog weinig getraind hebben in de warmte, is het lichaam daar niet aan gewend. "En dan is de kans op hitteberoertes nog groter."
