What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

An industry report found that the 2026 FIFA World Cup did not deliver the anticipated boost to Los Angeles hotels. Seventy-two percent of surveyed hotels reported that the event hurt their financial outlook for 2026, with nearly three-quarters reporting flat or cut staff. The report also noted that FIFA cancelled thousands of downtown Los Angeles room nights before the matches began.
