Saudi Arabia 2034 $600 billion

And now the World Cup will have 48 teams, which means more matches, which means more weeks of the tournament, which means more money. I remember the idea of the World Cup occurring every two years being floated around and it wouldn’t surprise me if that ends up happening. I feel like greed is going to end up killing this sport, especially the competitiveness of it

So they will make the big cash cow in Saudi 2034. No way they break the Qatar numbers till then

Noooooo.

No wayyy.

That Messi final really paid them handsomely.

Where there is a lot of money there is corruption.

So, the most controversal ones, you know people want to boykott where the best by far revenue wise?

A lot of people will keep watching. But it would really be less special and less watched probably. Now every 4 years even a lot of Americans watch it and its something special. If its on tv each year, idk if they would care as much

The cash must flow.

All i’m getting from this is that Brazil needs to step up its bribes game.

I don’t think it’s fair to conflate the expansion of the tournament with a hypothetical increase in frequency. While both bring in more money, the former does have sporting value and occasional expansion is healthy, even if it does have downside. The frequency however, should not be altered and is a pure cashgrab

São Paulo FC clearly

So how were they making so much more money in non WC years prior to 2014?

We all know the next step they are gonna try to take.
