Economic impact study predicts 2026 World Cup is worth $1.1bn to LA 

Economic impact study predicts 2026 World Cup is worth $1.1bn to LA  | The Business of Events Management | Scoop.it
From www.insideworldfootball.com - March 3, 11:05 PM

March 4 – An updated economic impact study now projects the 2026 World Cup could generate $892 million across Los Angeles County, up nearly 50% from earlier estimates of $594 million.
Add in a projected $230 million in long-term tourism benefits tied to global media exposure, and the total climbs north of $1.1 billion.
The revised breakdown includes $515 million in direct visitor spending on hotels, restaurants, retail, transport, and entertainment.

From www.insideworldfootball.com - February 25, 1:22 AM

February 25 – Security preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States have been thrown into uncertainty after federal funding earmarked for host cities was frozen during a partial government shutdown.
Almost $900 million allocated to the 11 US host cities has yet to be released, prompting warnings at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing that delays could have “catastrophic” consequences if the money is not made available soon.

US allocates $100m in federal funding for host cities | The Business of Events Management | Scoop.it
From www.insideworldfootball.com - January 26, 5:29 AM

January 26 – The US House of Representatives has approved $100 million in federal funding to support transit agencies in host cities ahead of the World Cup, underscoring the federal government’s role in delivering the largest sporting event ever staged. 
The funding was announced by Representative Sharice Davids (D-KS-03), founder and co-chair of the bipartisan Congressional FIFA World Cup 2026 Caucus and reflects growing recognition in Washington that World Cup infrastructure demands extend well beyond local budgets.
