When FIFA GE Infantino announced the 2026 World Cup as "the greatest event mankind has ever seen and will yet witness", many might assume that it was just a world football head display.

But if you put aside the winged words, the numbers and the actual impact of the World Cup show that the tournament is truly special that almost no other event can match.

The 2026 World Cup began in Mexico City today 11/6, marking the largest period in the 96-year history of World Football. For the first time, the tournament had 48 teams in attendance, which took place on three U.S., Canada and Mexico, with a total of 104 games in 16 cities.

The scale is just the floating part. According to FIFA, the 2026 World Cup could attract over five million viewers to the courtyard and create about $3 billion of revenues. The revenue from the ticket was predicted four times higher than the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The Swiss Bank UBS even predicted the 2026 World Cup could contribute 41 billion dollars to the global GDP.

The thing that makes the World Cup different is at the number of global followers. FIFA estimates about 6 billion people, roughly three quarters of the world's population, will interact with the tournament in some form, from watching live, watching television, social networks, or digital platforms. Not many events in the world have access to such audiences.

The game [citation of the 2022 World Cup] (httts ://nvexpress.net/argentina-vs-phap-4549703-tang-tang.html) between Argentina and France is the best example. The confrontation between Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe was estimated to attract about 1.5 billion global television audiences. This number exceeds all other sports events, from the American Super Bowl to the NBA basketball final or UEFA Champions League.

Fans in China, India, or dozens of other countries still follow the tournament to see what Messi and Cristio Ronaldo can do at the last World Cup in his career, or to see young talents such as Lamine Yamal for the first time appear on the largest stage of football.

For many teams, participation in the tournament was a victory. The back guard Samuel Mutussamy of CHDC Congo told *Athletic that the World Cup was "the reward given to the Congolese people who were suffering from war, unrest and poverty". He called it "a drug of pleasure" and "the reason to smile".

A Haitian who lives in New York also shares that "nothing can bind us like football".

Haiti is undergoing a serious political and humanitarian crisis, but the national team still offers hope for millions of people. It's a very few other possible events. The World Cup has made a nation of the same people on a common goal for weeks at a time.

The World Cup is also the stage where legends were created. Pele, Diego Maradona or Messi both had a prestigious club career, but moments that made them global symbols were attached to the World Cup.

The tournament that year took place from May 31, to 29/6, with the championship in Argentina under the leadership of 25-year-old Captain Maradona, when he was at the top of his career.

This year, the tournament continues to have a similar meaning with Ronaldo at the age of 41, Luka Modric or Manuel Neuer at 40. Meanwhile, the new generation of Mbappe, Erling Haaland, Vinicius Junior and especially Lamine Yamal are looking for the opportunity to assert their position on the greatest stage.

The World Cup does not always bring the highest quality of expertise. The best matches in the club level today can appear in the Champions League. The process extended to 48 teams who were also concerned about the degree disparity and the less attractive matches on the board.

But the World Cup was never just football. It was the place where shocks such as Arab Saudi Arabia won Argentina in 2022, Morocco into semi-finals, South Korea defeating Germany in 2018 or Senegal in 2002 becoming the story mentioned across the planet.

It's also where the collective emotions are fully exaggerated. A goal can cause the city to explode, and a failure can cause millions of people to be disappointed. Thus, although the World Cup has always been accompanied by political, money, or organizational controversy, it has maintained its special attraction through nearly a century of existence.

It may not be the most important event in human history as described infantino. But in terms of the global sphere of social, cultural, and economic influence, it is difficult to find another event that causes billions of people to turn their attention to one place, at the same time, for more than a month like the World Cup.
