The moment you've been waiting for: Here comes the World Cup final. After more than 100 matches with 46 teams eliminated from championship contention, the biggest FIFA tournament in history will end with Sunday's final between Spain and Argentina.
PARIS: The World Cup has engaged punters like never before with an 80 percent increase in betting volume compared to the 2022 edition, even taking into account the higher number of matches for a 48-team tournament, a betting expert told AFP. Although many football fans were skeptical about the increase in the number of teams from 32 to 48, it appears punters have welcomed it. “We’ve seen an 80 percent increase in the ticket volume,” Darren Small, senior vice president of Managed Trading Services at Sportradar, told AFP. “So we’re seeing more bets and more active customers. “We’ve seen record numbers and we’ve surpassed our expectations in terms of what we felt we were going to see if we compare it to 2022, which is a little difficult because it was different as it was in the winter.” For Sunday’s final between Spain and defending champions Argentina, Small expects the company to be handling approximately 8.5 million betting tickets for their 250 bookmaking clients round the world. Sportradar is a global sports technology company that says it creates immersive experiences for sports fans and bettors.

England attracted approximately 16.3 million betting tickets ahead of France (15.5m), Argentina (15m) and Spain (14.5m). The games with the highest volume of betting

NEW YORK: Mikel Merino can smell and see the smoke from the Canadian wildfires that are making for hazy conditions across large parts of the US, including northern New Jersey where he and Spain are set to face Argentina in the World Cup final on Sunday. Merino is trying not to focus on it. It remains unclear how much, if at all, the smoke will affect the final. The World Health Organization forecast calls for an improvement to “moderate” air quality in East Rutherford. “For a game that is as important as a World Cup final, you have to be able to shut out external factors as much as possible,” Merino said Friday.
