Introduction

FIFA will give more money to football teams before the 2026 World Cup.

Main Body

FIFA will pay $871 million for the 2026 World Cup. This is more money than before. Teams need this money because travel and taxes in the USA are expensive. FIFA may also give $20,000 to $30,000 to 211 team presidents every year. President Gianni Infantino wants the presidents to like him before the next election in 2027. Canada is spending $145 million on security for the games. Also, FIFA will choose the place for the 2031 Women's World Cup later this year.

Conclusion

FIFA is using money to solve problems and keep people happy.

Learning

⚡ The "Future-Plan" Word: Will

When we talk about things that happen later, we use will. It is a simple tool to describe the future.

Look at these patterns from the text:

  • FIFA will give... (Action in the future)
  • FIFA will pay... (Action in the future)
  • FIFA will choose... (Action in the future)

The Logic: Person/Group → will → Action Word

Example Upgrade:

  • Now: I study English. → Future: I will study English.
  • Now: He plays football. → Future: He will play football.

💰 Comparing Things: More than

To show that one thing is bigger or larger than another, use more + [thing] + than.

  • Text Example: "This is more money than before."
  • Simple Rule: More→Something→Than→Old thing\text{More} \rightarrow \text{Something} \rightarrow \text{Than} \rightarrow \text{Old thing}.

Try thinking like this:

  • "I have more books than you."
  • "This city has more cars than my town."
