Leaders of North America’s bid for the 2026 World Cup urged FIFA voters to ignore the “politics of the moment” on Tuesday as they promised to deliver a record-breaking multi-billion-dollar profit for the global football showpiece.

In an address to the International Sports Press Association in Brussels, United States Soccer Federation President, Carlos Cordeiro said the 48-team tournament would hand world governing body FIFA a record of US$11 billion in profit.

He said “I can announce today that, working with FIFA, we expect that a 2026 World Cup in North America would generate a new record more than US$14 billion in revenue for FIFA.”
