FIFA can bear to have Morocco have the 2026 World Cup, as indicated by President Gianni Infantino, regardless of whether the opponent North American offer guarantees billions of dollars more in income. “FIFA can afford whatever the Congress decides.”
“We have to live with that and to make the best of any decision which is taken,” said the FIFA leader, who Moroccan bid leaders have publicly suspected of favoring the joint United States-Canada-Mexico bid.
In a FIFA board’s assessment of the applicants, the North American offer got the main greatest stamp for its tickets and corporate neighborliness deals design.
A distinction in anticipated ticket offers of $1.3 billion between the two offers helped lead the answer to note “fundamentally higher” figure income of $14.3 billion from North Americans and $7.2 billion from Morocco.
“Money is one element (but) not the only element” in the report, Infantino said, revealing that FIFA will top $6 billion income during the four-year financial period for the 2018 World Cup.
