Benefits of the 2026 World Cup
It is expected that the 2026 World Cup, hosted in North America, will be the most successful in terms of economic and commercial returns, with the number of participating teams increasing from 32 to 48 and the number of matches rising from 64 to 104. This has led to record-breaking viewership and revenue figures. FIFA's revenue from the tournament is anticipated to exceed $11 billion, while the New York and New Jersey area is projected to generate around $3.3 billion from economic activity, creating 26,000 jobs, attracting 1.2 million visitors, and generating nearly $1.7 billion in tourism spending. The host cities have invested heavily, and the event has contributed to strengthening New York’s reputation as a global tourism and economic hub, despite challenges related to security and development costs.
