Seattle expecting $100 million in economic impact from 2026 World Cup | FOX 13 Seattle

Now Seattle officials are going to clean up the city like what San Francisco did…🤣🤣🤣…losers….

What a great excuse to clear out the homeless

Where are they going to temporarily hide the homeless during this time frame?

World Cup?? Oh great soccer thugs in town to fight the drug gangs.

what is the fuss? The money goes to the rich and the homeless grows each year.

I’m just here for the exquisite comments..😀

Is that positive or negative impact? US cities tend to spend way more than predicted on these things.

Oh, wow, one hundred million?!!! We've given waaaaay more than that to the migrant situation.

How/why?.... The city the airport and its transportation infrastructure are barely functional at best under normal loads.

Given the way the fans support the Seahawks, and other teams of the city, I think that Seattle, and Kansas City are the best possible places for the US National Team to play its games.

Just so they can spend it on more rocks yay

What about security and law enforcement?

you know whats funny about soccer players and fent users, they both stare at their feet

oh and speaking of "the world will be watching you" yes you are right FOX 13, the world has been watching and laughing at us for a few years now when it comes to seattle.

I'll be in America but i hope you guys clean up ur country n finally take care of the homeless for once

Let’s go USA 🇺🇸
Let’s go Seattle

Seattle will use the money to give illegal immigrants pre paid cell phones and debit cards instead of using it to clean up once was amazing go to city - what a shame

Hell no.

The walking aspect will suit us Europeans :)

They have two years to clean this city up. Better start now🤣. God damn!!! Break out the overtime now help and get some of the homeless people off the streets, and get those pressure washers and work trucks out ,and street sweepers, pick up all that garbage everywhere, guess the amazing graffiti is gonna have to be covered up here and there. But. Man oh man. The city of Seattle has a chance to clean up the city for a few good reasons now and try to keep it that way, One, it needs to done anyways. Long over due, and two the world cup now I guess so better start now. Flowers pots everywhere, hanging baskets, stores will comes back slowly. Police doing their jobs and making sure it's safe!!! and stuff for everyone.

We do not need that! Could you imagine the Seattle streets?

Please clean the city

Seattle would have been the best location to have the World Cup final.

Perfect weather, beautiful scenery, and good restaurants.

New York is nice but, where is the scenery.

Seattle streets smelled like piss yesterday. It smelled like piss today. And it will continue to smell like piss into 2026 since the city gov isn't doing anything about the homeless and the drug addicts.

hahaha, BOY oh boy is the world gonna be so let down by Seattle. Wonder if they will ask the residents to volunteer and clean-up the city/local governments mess.

Not everyone follows anything, but more people follow soccer than anything else.
Over 1.5 BILLION people watched the Final in 2022 on television, making it the most widely watched televised sporting event in history.
In 2026, those numbers will be even bigger.
It's a MASSIVE DEAL, and it's funny how many Americans don't understand this.
BILLIONS of eyes will be on Seattle. Millions of fans from all over the world will fly into America for this tournament and bring all their passion and culture with them. Hopefully Seattle puts it's best foot forward.

Major protests incoming.

Best sport ever❤

Go Mexico!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

I remember that Seattle had a basketball team in the NBA e.e ! and also is imposible not think about Nirvana i hope Argentina play in that city

Oh good! Here in vegas we just had the F1 racing and now the super bowl so it will be nice to go back to the regular tourist when this is all over.... good luck Seattle.

What $100M impact? A movie can generate 10x or 100x 😂 😂

US will finally witness what a global sporting event looks like 👍

Now we can do something about the homeless situation with that revenue yeah?

Soccer is for globalists. Totally unAmerican.

It would be interesting for those folks who love to complain about the homelessness and drug addiction in our city to kinda put their money where their mouth is. COMPLAINING DOES NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE!!! If you’re so concerned about it, then do something and help out.

i have been reading the responses of host cities of the World Cup...the citizens of all host cities are complaining about the homeless and cleaning up...

Bitte nicht Polizei um der Sicherheit Massnahmen Schalgeschwindigkeit Berücksichtigen können

ワールドカップが自分の街にやってくるなんてとても羨ましいです。シアトルには行ったことありませんがこの街で行われるワールドカップを見るのが楽しみです

Good for Seattle. Just because there is a serious problem on the streets is insecurity because of all the homeless people who are drugged on the streets. That looks very horrible, especially in the city center.

In 2026 in North America

America Mexico

Better hurry up and clean this dump of a place up then.... lmfao. Europeans gonna show up like WTF IS THIS?!

North America 2026

Will Mayor Harrell and the City Council clean up the streets again like they did for the 2023 MLB All Star Game?? Why didn't FOX ask about how "City Officials" are handling the people camping on the streets doing drugs?

Seattle better get their s@%t together before this. Yes, Seattle is walkable but not safe and the streets are covered in druggies and homeless. Hopefully our police force can handle all this.

Can't wait for the world to see our homeless camps.

USA!!!🇺🇸 USA!!!🎉 I can’t wait for FIFA 2026

Whoopee do
