Jozef Tokos, analyst

(...)

The final tournaments tend to bring profit, the World Cup in Russia should be profitable as well. It is an important source of income for FIFA as well as for organizers.“

(...)

The editor Chlebovec: The idea that Slovakia organizes such a big event is nice though for the fans, but not realistic. There is no single stadium with sufficient capacity in Slovakia. We also lack necessary infrastructure. 

The minimum stadium capacity for the World Cup 26 to be played in a broaden framework of 48 participants, is 40000, for the semi finals 60 and the opening game plus the final 80000.“

(...)

We can only dream about it. Slovakia will never organize the World Cup as the only country.“

(...)

The editor Chlebovec: Slovakia might co-organize it with other countries like Japan and Korea in the past. 

We can organise it with the co-operation with other European countries hypothetically in dozens of years.“
