With three weeks to go until the match on March 27, the conflict has forced Qatar to suspend all activity in the country, leaving a financial package in limbo that industry estimates suggest could reach 60 million euros in TV rights fees, management fees and payments to participating teams.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The original plan was for the match to be held as part of the Qatar Football Festival. The Qatar Football Festival was a program of international matches scheduled from March 26 to 31, including the Spain vs. Argentina match, as well as several friendlies. The calendar includes games such as Egypt vs. Saudi Arabia, Qatar vs. Serbia and Spain vs. Egypt on March 30, all of which are part of a global economic agreement funded by the host nation.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Lionel Messi and Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8216;perfect&#8217; video the White House wants to see<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Just by playing in the Finalissima, the Real Espaola de F\u00fatbol Federation (RFEF) and the Argentine Association of Football (AFA) were guaranteed an estimated income of between \u20ac6 million and \u20ac10 million per team. This figure is in addition to additional friendlies, which typically result in a payout of around 2 million to 4 million per team in this type of tournament.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<p>A big block of the business is in the audiovisual rights and commercial exploitation of the entire festival. Together with TV sales for all matches and advertising and sponsorship deals associated with the event, the value of the package is around \u20ac20m or \u20ac30m.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">many aspects to consider<\/h2>\n<p>To this amount must be added the expected logistics costs of travel, accommodation, security and television production for the match, which Qatar envisages as the host, and the expenditure could exceed 10 or 15 million euros. The total number of people attending festivals organized around Finalissima reaches approximately 40 to 60 million people.<span class=\"xai-icon\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This is the economic framework in which we are currently stuck. Finding a new venue for the Spain vs. Argentina match involves more than just choosing a stadium.
