The lucrative business of the World Cup: How FIFA secures millions in profits, while host nations take all the risks

This dynamic highlights a troubling trend where international sports bodies profit handsomely, leaving local economies to pick up the tab. The disparity raises questions about the ethics of global sports governance and the financial burden placed on nations eager to host such prestigious events.
