Football is the most popular sport in the world by far. Currently, it is played in almost every country on earth, and no other game has managed to come closer to the followers that football has. Therefore, since the beginning of the 20th, most concretely 1930:Uruguay. There were World Cups until now except between 1938 and 1950 due to the Second World War. Nowadays, the FIFA World Cup has turned into a global phenomenon that excites billions of football fans every time that it happens. It is the world’s most-watched sporting event that generates millions of dollars due to stadium buildings, broadcasting licenses, sponsorships, tickets, merchandising and others.
Despite the magnitude of this event, not everything is excellent hosting it for the country and FIFA. There is much controversy about due to recent year scandals like bribery from Qatar to FIFA to host the Qatar World Cup 2022 or the billions that Brazil spent that could be used in public services that are not the best. These problems are only two from a lot of other cases that make my question relevant, why countries want to host the world cup having so many losses and spending so much money.
During this report, I will explain what the world cup is; I will evaluate make a brief introcution about each host country,analyse the economic impact and in the end do a general conclusion from the host of this event from the host country perspective. At the end of each country I will do a conclusion and at the end of the four countries a general conclusion about if it makes sense economically to organize this event.
