The financial situation of FIFA (the International Federation of Association Football) has been strengthened during the 2026 World Cup, with revenues possibly reaching around $9 billion this year, thanks to the increase in the number of teams to 48 and the participation of 104 matches in a tournament held across three countries: the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The expansion of the event has led to a rise in the ticketing, sponsorship, and broadcasting markets, with expectations of reaching $11 billion in revenue from 2023 to 2026, including approximately $3.1 billion from tickets and hospitality. Despite controversy surrounding refereeing decisions and the impact of political interference, the tournament has achieved significant financial gains, and the prize money for the teams has increased to $871 million.
