FIFA records unprecedented revenue from 2026 World Cup

FIFA has generated record revenues of $15 billion from the 2026 World Cup, The Guardian reports.

A major factor behind the increase was ticket sales and ticket resales. FIFA receives a 15% commission from both buyers and sellers in resale transactions, significantly boosting its overall revenue.

The final figure exceeded earlier projections, which had estimated earnings of around $11 billion.

The 2026 tournament marked the first World Cup in history to feature 48 national teams.
