WORLD CUP : FIFA PUSH FOR 48-TEAM BUMP AT WORLD CUP 2022 !
TweetTHE MORE, THE MERRIER ?
IT'S ACTUALLY MIXED REACTIONS FROM FOOTBALL FANS - - SOME LOVE IT, SOME HATE IT.
BUT ONE THING IS SURE, FIFA'S MOVE TO EXPAND THE WORLD CUP TOURNAMENT FROM 32 TEAMS TO 48 TEAMS WOULD MEAN MORE 'KA-CHING', 'KA-CHING'.
AND YEAH, MORE 'BA-BLING, 'BA-BLING', AS JESSIE J PUTS IT.
EXPANDING TO 48 TEAMS, WOULD MEAN A PROJECTED EXTRA REVENUE OF USD $400 MILLION DOLLARS FOR FIFA, WRITES NICK HARRIS OF 'SPORTING INTELLIGENCE' @SportingIntel.
FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE SPORT, OR FOR MONEY ?
DO I REMEMBER SOMEONE SAID, THE TWO ARE ACTUALLY SYNONYMOUS ?
IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE IT, DOES IT ?

FIFA'S MOVE TO EXPAND THE WORLD CUP FROM 32 TEAMS TO 48 TEAMS WOULD MEAN AN EXTRA USD $400 MILLION DOLLARS IN PROJECTED REVENUES, REPORTS NICK HARRIS OF 'SPORTING INTELLIGENCE' @SportingIntel.
And the money shot (literally) of FIFA's feasibility study of going to 48 teams for the 2022 World Cup. An EXTRA $400 MILLION in forecast tournament revenues.
