This final figure significantly exceeds the initial estimate of approximately 11 billion US dollars that the international federation had projected.

The revenue generated from these various sources contributes to the overall financial health of FIFA and the sport of football. The financial performance of the tournament appears to be robust, providing significant funds for the governing body of world football.
For the 2026 World Cup, there is also an additional noted detail regarding the winning team, which is reported to have a unique cultural requirement: the winners will be expected to perform in Spanish. Overall, the financial outcome surpasses earlier expectations, marking a substantial financial milestone for FIFA’s global football events.
