FIFA World Cup Attendance down, does FIFA care?

AFAIC, I don't think FIFA even cares about attendance. When they raised ticket prices many times over the price of previous matches, that means they will get more money per person. The sad part is people who wanted to see the tournaments, even locally won't be able to afford it. But hey, in a fascist run society, who cares about them?

Remember, IOC has put the Olympics in Nazi Germany, Communist China, Soviet Union, Putin's Russia, and planned to put it in Fascist Italy and Japan during WW2.

All these two organizations do is force government to spend money to build things for them, then come, make all their money, and leave.

Locusts have more value. I told the IOC to pound sand in 1972 when they refused to halt the games due to terrorists killing athletes.

sports here..............

All the good season seat tickets are taken up by Corporations.......AND THEIR COST IS TAX DEDUCTIBLE ..........
So most of the mediocre or nose bleed ticket prices, are people paying for those corporate seats by way of their taxes......

Those stadiums would only be full if international fans were willing and able to fly to US, get through customs. Pay for hotels and pay for tickets.

Tv ratings will be awful except the handful of games with the US until they get bounced out early.

There is a soccer arena, was the RedBull Arena in Harrison NJ, between Jersey City and Newark. Friends of mine got free tickets for a game with Brazil. There were ones with prices.
