That's a lot of money, this makes me wanna ask how fifa actually makes their money,?
Is it just by selling tickets to those who would want to attend the stadium and view the match live, or are there other ways through which the make their money aside advertisement?
Cus I am of the opinion that if it's just by selling tickets and from advertisers, making 11 billions dollars would be pretty impossible in my point of view, except the tickets are sold at an exorbitant high price which only rich men and women can afford.
I have wondered how they will spend this money since this time, in comparison to another world cup, they will certainly earn much more money because there are more teams participating and more matches in the world cup. I believe FIFA should raise the price for teams, spend some money on food for those countries who need it, as well as build stadiums and schools for those countries.
In fact, as far as I know, for the next World Cup 2026, FIFA has already increased the number of Asian national teams that will participate, if I remember correctly, Asia will have 5 representatives at the next World Cup.
However, as I said earlier in this discussion, I do not think that a larger number of participants in the World Cup will increase the quality of the competition, and in fact I think that we will see more bad and boring matches.
Of course, due to a greater number of matches, FIFA's earnings will increase, and that is obviously the most important thing in the whole story, not some sporting motives or reasons. Considering the enormous organizational and financial demands, fewer and fewer countries in the world will be able to organize a world cup, which is also bad news for all sincere fans.
I agree, this definitely won't increase the quality of the world cup and it can even decrease the quality of the games because there will be more weak teams from Asia or even weak teams from Europa they don't actually deserve to win the world cup normally. It is possible that once the number of teams participating in the world cup is increased, there will be a greater interest in watching the games and a larger community as a result.
