I personally believe that the World Cup in Qatar was a great experience for FIFA because of the huge profits, and also for the organizers because of the international promotion of an actually non-democratic and authoritarian state.
As for the fans, the question is how satisfied they actually were. They had alcohol restrictions, traveling was very expensive as was staying in Qatar and I believe the average fan was not very happy about that.
Obviously, FIFA wants richer fans who cause less trouble at matches and bring more profit
Worries about hosting the World Cup in Qatar? Yes, I do understand. It's a fact of life that major events always come with sacrifices. Sure, alcohol restrictions and expensive travel were annoying for some, but think of the money that was pumped into the local economy. The center of attention, Qatar? Huge potential for development, advancement, and growth. When evaluating these global phenomena, we should consider their immediate and future effects.
Naturally, FIFA would benefit financially from having more affluent supporters. But let's not forget to make the World Cup enjoyable for people of all backgrounds and socioeconomic levels. Keep it open and varied, please.
