World Cup profits and costs
The FIFA World Cup events being held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico are expected to generate revenues of up to $13 billion between 2023 and 2026, compared to $7-8 billion in the previous Qatar edition. The majority of these revenues primarily come from television broadcasting rights, which account for more than 50%, along with sponsorships contributing about 30%. There has also been a significant increase in ticket revenues and high ticket prices, with the cost of a ticket for the first match exceeding $1,000. Despite the enormous profits made by FIFA and broadcasting platforms, the host countries incur significant expenses for infrastructure and security, often surpassing the income generated from the event. This raises debates about economic fairness and the burden on taxpayers.
