Cost to host world cup football

I was reading ACCA member magazine June 2014 edition.

There was write up on cost to organise world cup football.

Here's the list:

2010 (South Africa) - USD 12 billion

2014 (Brazil) - USD 13.3 billion

2018 (Russia) - USD 20 billion (estimation)

2022 (Qatar) - USD 65 billion (estimation)

Though, the host gets sponsorships from sportswear, tv rights, beverages, textitles etc. Nevertheless, there's a big chunk of amount need to be spent as organising cost.

Some countries do it to get more tourist, but what is it's already a country whom always gets tourist like russia and brazil. Anyway, it's something to consider for malaysia before they bid for 2030 world cup.
