New York mayor Zohran Mamdani wears Arsenal kurta during Eid prayers

Mamdani, elected New York’s mayor in November, has also spoken out about Fifa’s use of dynamic pricing for 2026 World Cup tickets.

He recently announced a lottery for 1,000 New York residents to win the chance to purchase $50 (£37.30) tournament tickets.

The 50,000-person daily limit for entering the lottery was reached within three minutes on its opening day.

New Jersey’s MetLife stadium, the home of NFL franchises the New York Jets and the New York Giants, is set to host the final of the 48-team tournament which is taking place across the United States, Mexico and Canada between 11 June and 19 July.

That Mamdani melded Premier League and Eid al-Adha celebrations with a custom kurta begs one question – what will his celebrations look like if Arsenal win the Champions League?

Arsenal face Paris St-Germain in the final of European club football’s most prestigious tournament in Budapest on Saturday, 30 May at 17:00 BST.
