FIFA anticipates record World Cup revenue

Reports indicate that FIFA (the International Federation of Football Associations) expects to generate record revenues of up to $15 billion from the 2026 World Cup, surpassing the original forecast of $11 billion. This projection is based on strong income from ticket sales and hospitality, with no cap on resale prices in the secondary market. Additionally, FIFA will earn a 15% fee on the sale price of each ticket, paid by both buyers and sellers. Compared to 2022, when FIFA generated $5.769 billion from the Qatar edition, there is a significant increase in the targeted revenue for the 2026 event.
