The final amount was influenced by an increase in the number of matches, dynamic pricing, and a commission from ticket resales on FIFA's official platform.
The organization received 30% from secondary sales. This model was made possible by U.S. legislation allowing the resale of tickets for sporting events.
Spain won the tournament, Argentina took silver, and England secured bronze. Uzbekistan's national team finished last in Group K during its debut World Cup, losing all three matches.
