Qatar’s tournament sits far above the other World Cups in this ranking, with Brazil 2014 at $15 billion, the 2026 tournament in the United States, Canada, and Mexico at $13.9 billion, and Russia 2018 at $11.6 billion.
The rest of the table places Japan and South Korea 2002 at $7 billion, Italy 1990 at $4.4 billion, Germany 2006 at $4.3 billion, and South Africa 2010 at $3.6 billion. The spread shows how sharply World Cup costs can rise when host nations pair FIFA operations with major infrastructure spending.
