Riassunto

The World Cup Divided: The Single-Country vs. Multi-Country Hosting Dilemma is the essential guide to understanding one of the most decisive shifts in modern sports management.

This book provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of the two dominant hosting models shaping the future of global mega-events. Through in-depth case studies -from Germany 2006 and Qatar 2022 to the pioneering Korea-Japan 2002 and the groundbreaking 2026 North American World Cup.

I break down the strategic, financial, and operational realities behind each approach.

Why does this matter now?

Because the era of single-nation hosting is being challenged by a new wave of multi-country collaborations, a trend FIFA itself is embracing with the 2030 and 2034 tournaments. This isn't just about sport; it's about diplomacy, economics, sustainability, and global influence. Event managers, government officials, sports strategists, and students need a clear, evidence-based roadmap to navigate this complex landscape.

The World Cup Divided delivers exactly that:

• A structured comparative framework evaluating governance, legacy, finance, fan experience, and political impact
• Actionable insights for organizers planning bids, managing events, or mitigating risks
• Forward-looking analysis of trends that will define the next generation of Sports Mega-Events

Whether you're a sport management student, a policy maker, a consultant, or a football federation leader, this book equips you with the knowledge to make smarter decisions, and to understand the high-stakes game behind the game.
