Victor Montagliani, FIFA vice-president and president of Concacaf, believes that the upcoming World Cup in North America will catalyze a 'cultural revolution' in soccer, allowing Major League Soccer (MLS) to rival the Premier League. He defends FIFA's controversial ticket pricing strategy, arguing that the tournament represents a peak in FIFA's earning potential, with anticipated revenues reaching $13 billion. Montagliani highlights the significant growth of soccer in North America, noting that Canada has developed a professional league and is now producing players for European teams. He envisions MLS potentially becoming the second-largest league globally, or even the first, given its strong ownership and the American drive for excellence. Montagliani expresses support for expanding the Club World Cup to 48 teams but opposes increasing the World Cup to 64 teams, emphasizing the need for prudence. He also reassures that political issues, including visa denials for Iranian staff, will not impact the tournament's success. Looking ahead, Montagliani does not dismiss the possibility of running for FIFA president in 2031 after Infantino's expected reelection.
