The FIFA World Cup in the United States drew record attendance across its venues, according to Bloomberg News. The expanded tournament format and packed stadiums generated spending in host cities through ticket sales and fan zone activity. The USMNT faced Belgium in the Round of 16 without striker Folarin Balogun due to suspension. France entered the match as the tournament favorite with forward Kylian Mbappé.
