Despite hosting only 13 of the tournament's 104 matches, Mexico is expected to reap billions of dollars in economic benefits from this year's World Cup.
Mexico City, which will host five matches, including last week's opening game between Mexico and South Africa, is expected to welcome about 400,000 visitors and generate an economic impact of nearly $1.6 billion, according to independent consultant Jorge Arturo Anglard Martínez Cervantes, who spoke with Forbes.
