FIFA projects revenue from the upcoming World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada to reach $15 billion, surpassing the initial estimate of $11 billion. FIFA President Gianni Infantino shared these figures with member associations, highlighting significant income from hospitality services and ticket sales. The tournament will feature 48 teams and 104 matches, compared to the 2022 Qatar World Cup's 32 teams and 64 matches, which generated $5.769 billion.
FIFA's decision not to impose price controls on the official secondary market, while charging a 15% fee to both buyers and sellers per ticket, is expected to contribute to the increased revenue. This strategic move aims to capitalize on the expanded format and heightened global interest in the event.
