RandomDoge I didn't say in football we don't want to win everthing, that applies to any sport.
I said Olympics is the least important tournament in football.
Which one you prefer to win?
Olympics or FIFA World cup?
Olympics or Copa America?
Olympics or UEFA European Championship?
Olympics or La Libertadores?
Olympics or UEFA Champions League?
Olympics or FIFA Confederations Cup?
Olympics or FIFA Club World Cup.?
Dude nobody really cares about Olympics.

xell17 Due to the fact that last Olympics Games and last FIFA World Cup were in the same country, it will be easier to compare both.
During the Olympic Games, Rio de Janeiro received 1.2 millions visitors. According to Rio’s city hall, 410 thousands of those were not from Brazil
During FIFA world cup Rio received 886 thousands tourists, 471 thousands of those were foreign tourists.
Of course FIFA world cup have more than one host city, so there were much more tourists than this. Also, Rio received less tourists from Brazil because there were lots of other cities hosting FIFA World Cup.
Other cities that hosted FIFA world Cup received less tourists than Rio:
São Paulo 510,000
Belo Horizonte 355,000
Brasilia 490,000
Porto Alegre 350,000
Recife 400,000
Manaus 260,000
Cuiaba 120,000
Natal 180,000
Salvador 700,000
So, in number of tourists, World Cup can be considered bigger.
If you talk about audience, both events are watched for about half of the Earth. Fifa World Cup reached 3.2 billions viewers, while Olympic Games 3.5 billions.
