2026 World Cup: Progress or Turmoil

The 2026 FIFA World Cup held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada featured exciting events, marked by a record-breaking attendance of over 6.25 million spectators at the matches, with an average of 65,000 fans per game, despite some empty seats during the group stage. For the first time, water breaks were introduced, drawing criticism from coaches and some fans. Underdog teams like Cape Verde and Curaçao achieved historic milestones. The tournament also saw a significant rise in food and beverage prices inside stadiums, with a pint of beer reaching 20 euros and a bottle of water about 7 euros in the United States. Security conditions in certain areas were affected, amid human rights criticisms related to the treatment of migrants and visa issues. U.S. President Trump only attended the final, after causing a scandal by interfering in an American match. There is now talk of expanding the tournament from 48 to 64 teams in the future, with more matches and greater profits. It is also expected that Gianni Infantino will be re-elected as FIFA president in March 2027.
