When the World Cup starts, the winners are not only the teams. In every country in the world, including Albania, a parallel economy is activated that includes bars, restaurants, televisions, sports platforms, travel agencies and entertainment businesses. Although Albania is not among the 48 teams of the 2026 World Cup, the tournament is expected to generate a wave of consumption that directly affects the local economy.
When the ball starts rolling in stadiums in the United States, Canada and Mexico in the summer of 2026, Albania will not be among the participating teams. However, this does not mean that the country will remain outside the World Cup economy.
Beyond the sporting spectacle, the World Cup is one of the largest economic events in the world.
It generates billions of dollars in revenue for organizers, sponsors, media companies, hotels, transportation and the entertainment industry. Some of this consumption wave also spreads to countries not participating in the tournament, through fan spending, television subscriptions, travel and increased consumption.
In the absence of Albania, Albanian fans' interest is expected to focus on some of the traditional national teams that have a high following in the country. Germany remains one of the most supported teams, thanks to its successful history and the strong ties created by the Albanian diaspora in German-speaking countries.
Switzerland is expected to attract particular attention due to the continued presence of footballers of Albanian origin and the large Albanian community living there. England has gained great popularity in recent years thanks to the dominance of the Premier League in the Albanian television market, while France and Spain continue to have significant fan bases due to their international success.
Portugal is also expected to be among the most followed teams, not only for their status as favorites, but also for the Cristiano Ronaldo factor, who continues to be one of the most popular figures among the Albanian public. These national teams are expected to be the main engine of television audience and club attendance during the 2026 World Cup.
The 2026 World Cup is expected to be the most profitable sporting event in FIFA's history. The organization expects to generate around $13.1 billion in revenue over the 2023–2026 cycle, with the majority of that revenue directly related to the World Cup. From television and media rights alone, FIFA expects to collect around $3.9 billion, more than any previous edition.

The 2026 World Cup is expected to be the most profitable sporting event in FIFA's history.

Rritja lidhet jo vetëm me interesin global për turneun, por edhe me zgjerimin e formatit nga 32 në 48 skuadra dhe nga 64 në 104 ndeshje, duke krijuar më shumë përmbajtje për transmetuesit dhe reklamuesit. Sipas vlerësimeve të industrisë, të ardhurat nga të drejtat televizive janë rreth 30% më të larta se në Botërorin e Katarit 2022.
Në Shqipëri, ndryshe nga Botërori i Katarit që u transmetua nga RTSH, të drejtat ekskluzive për Botërorin 2026 janë siguruar nga TV Klan. Marrëveshja u njoftua që në vitin 2024 dhe përfshin transmetimin e të gjitha 104 ndeshjeve të turneut.
Sipas informacionit të publikuar nga industria mediatike ndërkombëtare, TV Klan do ta transmetojë Botërorin në mënyrë ekskluzive dhe pa pagesë për publikun shqiptar, përmes kanaleve të tij televizive sportive.
Natyra e fushatës së marketingut që do të shoqërojë këtë transmetim televiziv do të jenë kontrata sponsorizimi, reklamime, pra shitja e së drejtës së përmbledhjeve për televizionet e tjera në lajme apo në programe.
Edhe pse sponsorët e transmetimit në Shqipëri nuk janë shpallur ende, historikisht evente të tilla tërheqin kompani të telekomunikacionit, banka, prodhues pijesh, rrjete karburantesh dhe shitës të pajisjeve elektronike, sektorë që përfitojnë drejtpërdrejt nga rritja e audiencës dhe konsumit gjatë turneut
Sipas përllogaritjeve mbi paketat zyrtare të sponsorizimit, çmimi efektiv i reklamimit luhatet nga rreth 14 euro deri në 62.5 euro për sekondë transmetimi.
Paketa më e madhe, “Partneri Platinum”, me vlerë 400 mijë euro, garanton rreth 20.800 sekonda ekspozim reklamues gjatë 104 ndeshjeve, ndërsa paketat më të fokusuara në ndeshjet kryesore arrijnë deri në 62.5 euro për sekondë. Kjo tregon potencialin e lartë komercial që mbart transmetimi i Kupës së Botës, përtej të ardhurave nga sponsorët dhe shitja e përmbledhjeve televizive.
Dokumentet komerciale tregojnë se bizneset paguajnë jo vetëm për kohën në ekran, por edhe për rëndësinë e ndeshjeve ku shfaqen.
Me 104 ndeshje, Botërori 2026 është turneu më i madh në histori. Për televizionin transmetues, kjo do të thotë më shumë inventar reklamues se çdo Botëror i mëparshëm. Botërori i Katarit kishte vetëm 64 ndeshje. Pra inventari televiziv është rritur me 62.5%.
Një tjetër zë i rëndësishëm është edhe e drejta e transmetimit në vende publike që organizohen posaçërisht për eventin dhe ku zhvillohet aktivitet komercial.
Kjo e bën Shqipërinë pjesë të strategjisë së FIFA-s për të ruajtur shikueshmërinë masive në televizionet me mbulim të lirë, pavarësisht rritjes së platformave me abonim.
Në nivel global, FIFA ka arritur marrëveshje transmetimi në më shumë se 175 territore, ndërsa negociatat në disa tregje të mëdha si Kina dhe India vazhduan deri pak javë para fillimit të turneut, çka tregon vlerën e jashtëzakonshme që kanë fituar të drejtat televizive të Botërorit.
Reklamimi në Shqipëri
According to calculations on official sponsorship packages, the effective advertising price ranges from around 14 euros to 62.5 euros per second of broadcast. The largest package, the “Platinum Partner”, worth 400 thousand euros, guarantees around 20,800 seconds of advertising exposure during 104 matches, while packages more focused on the main matches reach up to 62.5 euros per second. This shows the high commercial potential that the World Cup broadcast carries, beyond the income from sponsors and the sale of television summaries.
For the 2026 World Cup, the main partners are:
Adidas
• Coca-Cola
• Hyundai Motor Group
• Lenovo
• Qatar Airways
• Visa
• Aramco
Sponsors and commercial partners alone are expected to bring FIFA around $2.8 billion in revenue.
Football as an economy
FIFA estimates that the 2026 World Cup will generate tens of billions of dollars in economic activity globally. The vast majority of these benefits will go to the organizers, sponsors, media and host countries. However, even countries like Albania get their share, not as producers of the spectacle, but as its consumers. Every television purchased, every sports subscription, every table reserved at a bar and every plane ticket to North America is part of the World Cup economy. /Monitor
