FC Dallas Owner: Expect Dallas FIFA Games To Sell Out

Dan Hunt, owner of FC Dallas and Co-Chair of the Dallas organizing committee for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, stated that Dallas is expected to host nine World Cup matches and that these games will likely sell out. Hunt discussed the substantial economic impact anticipated for Dallas, noting that FIFA World Cup attendees typically stay for nearly ten days, a duration significantly longer than the average stay of Super Bowl visitors, which is less than three days. This extended stay is projected to boost spending across various sectors, including hotels, restaurants, gasoline, and retail. Hunt shared these insights during an interview with Julie Fine on "The Close."
