The largest sporting event in humanity has reached its climax, demonstrating that under strong leadership and open economies, there are no limits to success. The president of the United States, Donald Trump, led a historic press conference in New York alongside the head of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, to celebrate figures that have left the entire world astonished.
According to the president, this tournament has been “by far, the tournament with the highest attendance in history. And I mean the history of all sports”. In numerical terms, the magnitude of what has occurred is overwhelming: more than 6.5 million attendees were recorded in the stadiums, marking an absolute milestone of massiveness.
The total revenue reached the astronomical figure of 19.2 trillion dollars, setting a record for international football. Trump emphasized that the atmosphere in the 16 host cities of North America was “extraordinary”, with fans from 200 countries participating in the 104 matches played.
The logistics behind this triumph of organized capitalism were compared by the president to the coordination of 78 editions of the Super Bowl in less than two months. To ensure safety and protection, more than 50 federal agencies and all law enforcement bodies were mobilized.
In light of such results, Trump suggested that the United States should host the event alone in the future, without sharing with Mexico and Canada, arguing the country's superior capacity.
