Positive short-term local impact: ticket sales, stadium concessions, hotel/restaurant spending from 43,000+ attendees and visitors.

No immediate policy implications. Potential future considerations: infrastructure investment in sports venues if tournament success drives government support for soccer development; broadcasting rights negotiations may be affected by viewership metrics tied to team performance.
