FIFA is striving for more and more money. The orientation of the women’s World Cup should also become even more lucrative in the future.
The FIFA World Federation Association hopes for revenue in billions in the future by organizing the Women’s World Cup. “Sport is also growing exponentially, and we are aiming to generate income of $ 1 billion with the Women’s World Cup alone, which we want to invest in women’s football again,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino at Saudi US Investment Forum in Riad. Women’s football is “crucial”.
The 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand had given FIFA record income of over $ 570 million. The next tournament will take place in Brazil in 2027. In the 2031 World Cup, the field of participants will then be increased from 32 to 48 teams, which was unanimously decided on Friday. There is only one application from the USA for the tournament. It was not until 2023 that the number of participants rose from 24 to 32.
