FIFA to Earn a Record-Breaking $15 Billion from Hosting the 2026 World Cup

Odaily reported that FIFA's revenue from the 2026 World Cup, to be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, will exceed $15 billion. FIFA's initial forecast estimated revenue at $11 billion, but the target has been significantly raised due to a substantial increase in revenue from ticket sales, including those on the secondary market. In the secondary market, FIFA charges fees or commissions to both buyers and sellers.
