Football is not about revenue and profits. Thats what FIFA gets wrong and fans hate it.
What are these data, every Hotel and Venue is talking about a non existant demand for them so, how can you 10x the former world cups, when nobody wants to go to the Us right now.
The commercialization of global football is entering an era of unprecedented asymmetry, where 500 million ticket requests face static stadium supply. As FIFA unbundles media rights and transitions soccer from a sports match into an Americanized multi-hour entertainment show, the traditional fan culture is being aggressively monetized. But when the spectacle finally outgrows the sport itself, who actually owns the game?
I didn't know much about FIFA at first. Glad to learn more about it today. I would be interested in going to this world event. I would be interested in playing football sometime.
Ya,, it is always excitement but this year it will be a lot booooo,,
yes to football (soccer for the americans who like to lk use british things they think are american), no to fifa. go check out your lower tier football matches all across usa (search 'minor league soccer' and your town). lots of fun action, high quality of play, and very little fifa-ification during the summer months.
FIFA is a corrupt piece of 💩! Absolutly terrible for the environment.
Technology may continue to advance, reaching heights we could never imagine. But if these innovations do not translate into real opportunities for people — such as jobs, livelihoods, and ways to improve daily life — then their benefit will remain limited. In that case, technology will serve only as entertainment or spectacle, not as a true force for human progress.👣
Not interested, get this garbage off of the internet
Not interested in any content that calls football soccer. Disliked

Rule number one, avoid THE question and deflect. Great job.
Didn't FIFA give a peace prize to Trumpsky?
F.. FIFA, complete criminal organisation. In FIFA's history, criminal investigations have been conducted against at least 30 to 40 officials while they were directly in office or immediately involved with the organization.
