The Cost of FIFA’s World Cup Greed

We examine and discuss the business side of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, focusing on FIFA’s record revenue targets and controversial ticket pricing strategy. The high ticket prices and dynamic pricing have reduced demand, leaving many seats unsold despite claims of sell-outs. A dive into concerns over ticketing practices, the impact on fans and stadium atmospheres, and whether FIFA’s pursuit of higher revenues is damaging the long-term value and reputation of the World Cup. ---------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is intended as commentary and opinion on matters of public interest in the sports industry.
