FIFA World Cup 2026: US businesses may have lost $11.7 billion due to workplace distractions
A report by HR software company UKG suggests that the 2026 FIFA World Cup could have resulted in $11.7 billion in lost productivity for US employers. The study attributes this financial impact to various factors, including staff taking sick leave, arriving late or leaving early, general fatigue, and employees secretly watching matches while on the clock. Additionally, data from Envoy shows that US office attendance dropped by 26% on the morning following the national team's exit from the competition.
