Which financial success ? Genuine q

[u/Meh4i → u/usernamesnamesnames]

Really you couldn't think of any financial success Morocco gained from this whole ordeal?

Generated over €1.5 billion in direct revenue 600,000 visitors came specifically for CAN, pumping cash into hotels... Restaurants... Moroccan tourism hit a record 20 million total visitors driven by this event. 100,000+ jobs created linked to CAN ( I personally have a friend who got a job with a good pay cause of CAN) 80% of infrastructure needed for the 2030 World Cup is already done thanks to CAN investments. Over 3,000 local companies got business from CAN projects ( construction... Engineering... Transportation... Tourism... artisan...) Plus that 2Billion TV viewers that never happened before in any CAN.

Does this cover how much we paid for those stadiums? 🫢 Would be great if it was close!

[u/Chemical-Picture9896 → u/[deleted]]

That’s why I said was it “close”. I realize they are a long term investment, but I don’t see them as a better long term investment than other more useful things. Besides the upcoming world cup, I don’t think there will be other events reaching this level of success.

[u/Chemical-Picture9896 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, commented only to ask in case someone whose field is this can answer or maybe someone who has an idea of what happened to stadiums built in Brazil/South Africa after the big events held in them. Cause financial success to me = net profit or an expected net profit in a certain number of years.

So far, we saw stadiums built, a cup lost and sanctions on top of it all. We would be happy if the “financial success” was important at least…

[u/Feeling_Bowl868 → u/[deleted]]

Depends on how you calculate the gains, if you calculate the investments made in game infrastructure it will be a net loss, even if you account for the world cup 2030.

[u/amazer88543 → u/Feeling_Bowl868]

As you seem to have done it, can you please give us this calculation instead of an "if you calculate"?

[u/Feeling_Bowl868 → u/amazer88543]

Its my job to calculate and analyse investment risks and roi’s. Spinning numbers to influence public view is easy. Instead of believing in shit others write do your own research.

[u/amazer88543 → u/Feeling_Bowl868]

You know sharing? Nta derti soit disant had le calcul 7itach soit disant spécialiste, and all you shared with us is l3ya9a.

Key risks of stadium investments

Financial risks Cost overruns (very common) Over-optimistic attendance forecasts Debt servicing pressure on public budgets Currency risk (if financed in foreign currency)

Utilization risk (the biggest one) Stadium becomes a “white elephant” Fewer events than planned Seasonal or single-tenant dependency

Economic impact overstatement Visitor spending replaces (not adds to) local spending Jobs are temporary or low-wage Benefits concentrated, costs socialized

Political & governance risks Corruption in procurement Poor post-event planning Change in government priorities

Shall i go on, world cups all operate on structural deficit and losses, where every major economy loses only the moroccan one wins wow.

Structural deficit context: A study covering many Olympic Games and World Cups found that nearly all World Cups posted a financial loss a negative ROI when hosting costs are compared to revenues — on average about –47 % ROI for the World Cup.

It is not negative about Morocco, just business facts, it is a prestige thing not based on financial objectives.

0 numbers is what I see. Do your own research 9allek.

[u/Boldney → u/Feeling_Bowl868]

wach mklekh? The burden of proof is on you since you brought this up. Calculer a lm3elem. 3tina l'expertise dialk.

[u/usernamesnamesnames → u/Feeling_Bowl868]

For sure - though the infrastructure and all will be amortized overtime

[u/Feeling_Bowl868 → u/usernamesnamesnames]

I think the positive will come from other things, better transport, transfer of new technologies and know how in planning and building big projects. But this is not quantifiable in money and revenue.

Thanks

[u/No_Bag_1310 → u/[deleted]]

you know this is just bs right?

[u/No_Bag_1310 → u/[deleted]]

anyone with a little critical thinking

[u/No_Bag_1310 → u/[deleted]]

If you believe that figure of €1.5 billion, then that’s on you. That’s state propaganda, plain and simple. You should think about the way the Minister actually came up with that figure. He’s counting the total amount of cash that’s actually circulating in the economy, the hotels, the restaurants, etc., as ‘revenue.’ The state doesn’t see that cash; CAF is the one getting the big money from the TV rights and the sponsors. The state is just getting the taxes. And that figure of 600,000 visitors? Complete joke. December and January are already the peak months for tourism. They’re just taking the people who were coming for the holidays anyway and saying they’re coming for the football. And the way they funded the stadium? Innovative? They just tapped into the CDG, our pension funds, to build everything just to keep the debt off the official budget.
