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

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.

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.
