The sport has 15-20 years left.
I predict football will fall off in popularity in around 20 years time. ( *It will still be the biggest in the world* )
- Political involvement from UAE and maybe Saudis soon, we saw an example of what can happen with direct/indirect political influence in the game Trump this World Cup, and with City’s 115 charges
- FIFA and Infantino corruption will ruin the World Cup eventually, it will be expanded to get China and India in due to the size of the extra viewership it would provide
- American ownership increasing means they will profiteer the sport more, more games played in USA like they do with the NFL in London. They will attempt to form a super league again so it’s closer to American sports leagues
