According to OE, the tournament could help drive up to USD 40.9 billion in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), deliver USD 8.28 billion in social benefits and underpin the creation of nearly 824,000 full time equivalent (FTE) jobs globally. Specifically for the US, OE estimates that 185,000 FTE jobs could be created, with 30.5 billion in gross output and USD 17.2 billion in GDP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 study showcases how the creation of FIFA\u2019s new top, quadrennial competition involving and elevating 32 of the world\u2019s best clubs will serve to unlock value for people in the tournament\u2019s host nation, the US, and globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report estimates a total attendance of 3.7 million, with local and international fans flocking to the tournament\u2019s 11 host cities to support their clubs in their pursuit to become the first-ever winner of the highly anticipated competition. The event could help generate up to USD 21.1 billion in global GDP, including USD 9.6 billion in the US. This year\u2019s celebration of global club football could also generate USD 17.1 billion in gross output and unlock USD 3.36 billion in social benefits across the US, while supporting the creation of approximately 105,000 jobs there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The studies aim to capture both tangible and intangible benefits through a structured and comprehensive analysis that includes direct, indirect, and induced contributions, and further demonstrates the commitment of FIFA and the WTO to work together to analyse the economic impact of football and its role in unlocking global and inclusive economic growth.
