The 2022 World Cup is the Most Expensive FIFA Tournament in History.
The costs incurred are almost 20 times the funds spent by Russia to host the 2018 World Cup.
But economically, the World Cup is also predicted to provide many advantages for Qatar.
Estimated that during the world cup, will be around 1.2 million visitors come and watch live at the stadium.
And will add revenue for the Qatar economy to $17 billion.
Btw, I hope there will be a new world champion outside that has won the world cup before.
It's always a bit of a gamble for the hosting country, sometimes they spend way too much preparing and building stadiums, etc, and then the money they collected is just not enough to cover those costs.
An interesting point is that in Qatar there's a ban on alcohol, which is one of the areas in which hosts make the most money from.
We'll have to wait and see how it goes.
Qatar is not a nation who lacks money, they have plenty of money and they do not worry about anything regarding the finances of this deal. The only thing they want to achieve is to look good to Europe and nothing more. With this tournament there would be a lot of people who will see a fake Qatar that is understanding and loving, and that’s not going to be the case as we all know.
The reality is much darker, but they will shade it white to look cute towards world powers and its citizens. I have seen this a lot in other sports and that’s why I won't buy it, but there will be plenty of people who would, this money spent is like advertisement, it’s not to make sure they profit, it’s there to promote Qatar to world stage.
