I mean why the fuck is it there anyway they've literally spent decades shitting on the sport.
(Yesyes i know, fifa is a corrupt pos but honestly how the fuck this was even floated as an idea is beyond me)
Major League Soccer has been gaining traction for a few years now, teams getting big and rich enough to buy Messi for $150M for 2.5 years, Apple bought the US MLS distribution rights for $2.5B over 10 years, a lot of people stand to make a lot of money. A whole new untapped market for fifa and the teams and advertisers and every company who advertises.
