Amid backlash from consumer watchdogs investigating pricing, Infantino cites over half a billion ticket requests and insists fan demand proves the value. He dismisses early hotel booking concerns as misleading, touting North America’s historic opportunity to grow the game—with $30 billion in U.S. economic impact and thousands of jobs expected. Meanwhile, Budweiser’s CEO confirms pricing won’t change, prioritizing long-term brand strength over short-term swings. Infantino calls this tournament a “once-in-a-lifetime” moment for soccer’s global expansion. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
