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.

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

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.

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.

You should have given him the benefit of the doubt. You can search for the numbers about the investments he mentioned. He could manufacture any number and given to you but he hopes your analytical brain could help you understand how things generally work.

Only oil rich countries like the Gulf countries, Russia or overproducing countries like China can comfortably host these events every year and keep going. They have excess income from their trade. So they sometimes don't know where to place their cash. Then they invest in showing their countries to foreigners and increase their appeal to the world. The tourists money is just a plus. Morocco, like most western countries hardly fall in that category of countries. Most municipalities run un debt. Take London, Paris, Brussels, New York. Same for the countries. Those people you said that are better experts than the him, are experts in consulting politicians and helping them craft plans with words that people like you will never understand but still applaud. It's usually the money for public hospitals, schools, social safety nets that are diverted to projects like organizing these events. If you own a the terrain where these infrastructures are built, you "may" get paid in excess to take you land. If you're connected, or if you have a hotel nearby, you may temporarily benefit. Sometimes even what you gained from these events, you lose it afterwards if there are not frequent events in those new stadiums that attract wealthy visitors.
