US World Cup Host Cities Seek Millions in Unpaid FIFA Funding The US cities hosting World Cup matches are still waiting for millions of dollars promised by FIFA, a stark reminder of the governing body's chronic mismanagement and broken promises.
The $15 billion in revenue generated from the recent tournament is substantial, but it highlights FIFA's history of making grandiose commitments that often go unfulfilled.
Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, Kansas City, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Miami, Boston, and New York/New Jersey were assured by FIFA's senior management that they would receive $1 million each towards legacy projects and community initiatives.
