Corporate Sponsors
World Cup sponsorship has risen from two thousand dollars in 1984 to 16 thousand dollars in 1996. The tournament attracts 3.6 billion viewers on average from beginning to end of the tournament. These sponsors include Coca-Cola, McDonalds, and Adidas. In the United States (the 1994 host), 65% of the total money spent on sponsrship is in sports. Furthermore, 63% of the sponsorship in Germany (2006 Host) is in sports and 80% in South Africa (2010 host). With this value of sport sponsorship, it is evident that hosting a World Cup will strongly impact a global economy.

Famous quotes containing the word corporate:
“If when a businessman speaks of minority employment, or air pollution, or poverty, he speaks in the language of a certified public accountant analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that he understands the human problems behind the statistical ones? If the businessman would stop talking like a computer printout or a page from the corporate annual report, other people would stop thinking he had a cash register for a heart. It is as simple as that—but that isn’t simple.”
—Louis B. Lundborg (1906–1981)
