FIFA estimates $3.8 billion benefit for Canada as 2026 World Cup co-host

A FIFA economic impact assessment estimates the 2026 FIFA World Cup will contribute up to $3.8 billion in "positive economic output" for Canada as a host nation.
The article from CBC Sports discusses the economic benefits anticipated from hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Canada, as part of a joint bid with the United States and Mexico.
