The information arrived on the eve of the World Cup, before the start of which remains quite a bit. The International Federation of Football (FIFA) hopes to "break the jackpot" in six-odd billion dollars. This amount is an order of magnitude greater than the one FIFA earned on the previous mundiale. Recall, it was held in Brazil. Then, according to the financial documents of the federation, she got $ 1.3 billion less, writes the American newspaper The New York Times. However, it is possible that earnings will be even greater. Analysts predict that 10% can be added to the planned profit, since FIFA expected to receive $ 3 billion from the sale of broadcasting rights, but there is already an increase to this amount of 2%. By the way, the sponsors showed themselves more actively than expected:.

instead of the planned $ 1.45 billion they invested $ 1.

65 billion. Among them, the palm tree of the championship can be safely given to "benefactors" from the Middle Kingdom. Sponsors from China showed increased interest in the championship in Russia. In the center of attention, our country will be from June 14 to July 15 - in the days of the football championship, which will take 11 cities. The match-opening will take place in "Luzniki", where our players will converge with the players of the national team of Saudi Arabia.
