    Gianni Infantino, Jason Kelly, Johnny Infantino

    The 2026 FIFA World Cup, a historic 48-team tournament hosted across 16 North American cities, is projected to generate $80 billion in economic impact and attract 7.5 million attendees while drawing 6 billion global viewers. FIFA President Gianni Infantino leveraged the event to outline a strategic pivot toward emerging markets, aiming to diversify global football revenue away from European dominance and establish a sustainable grassroots ecosystem that could elevate North American leagues to compete with European standards by 2031. Reinvesting tournament revenues into development for 150 countries, Infantino also announced his candidacy for re-election to oversee these commercial expansions and complete his governance reforms.
