In the quote above I started to think.
my view especially for fans and spectators if the world cup tournament venues are placed in 16 cities of three countries, fans who want to watch live will cost an additional three times as much, I think this will make it difficult for viewers who want to watch the 2026 world cup live. what else is the world economy deteriorating.

From the location I saw and where the 2026 world cup is taking place.


Fans and spectators will pay 3X more, when compared to the world cup that has been completed in one country/other country, such as Qatar 2022 and others, I think this will have a direct negative impact on fans who want to watch live, be it lodging costs, transportation costs and many other costs that must be incurred. if they want to watch world cup 2026 in three different countries and different cities.

I understand your way of thinking, but it may not exactly be 3x more expensive to watch the 2026 world cup than the other cups, and we have many variables.

In Qatar the hosting was more expensive, expensive beer, and for us from South America, the airfare is quite expensive too.
In the United States it is easy to find cheap hosting, food is also cheap, and airplane tickets are also much more affordable.
For Europeans it must be the same thing to fly to Qatar or the United States. For people from Asia, it might be a more expensive trip.

In the United States the infrastructure is also very good, and transportation is relatively cheap, even though the country has continental proportions.
It might be a little more difficult if someone wants to follow the games in the 3 countries, but think about the other side, the Mexicans for example, will be able to follow 10 games in their country, something that would be very difficult if there was only one country instead of 3.

Any choice makes it easier for a group of people and harder for others. But I think the decision of 3 hosting countries was right, it will have more benefits this way.
