DOHA: FIFA expects to earn 11 billion in the 2026 World Cup cycle with a 48-team men’s tournament in North America set to deliver a big increase in revenue amid ongoing uncertainty about the exact match schedule.
The four-year budget, which was presented Friday to the FIFA Council, foresees an almost 50 per cent increase in income mainly tied to broadcasting and sponsorship deals, plus ticketing and hospitality at a tournament which will use several NFL stadiums.
“We are bullish about the power of football? FIFA president Gianni Infantino said after the council meeting. We are convinced that the impact of the game will be massive.”
