Rizia football investment benefits? TURN 1

[Olter]

Is there a benefit to spending budget on the football? other than lore

According to the files there should be a event. But i havent seen it triggered. Ive also invested. there was no return

If you don't spend anything you'll get some events about declining performance. They don't seem to affect the green modifier in the country status though. But then the modifier doesn't appear to have any noticeable impact, either.

After peeking in the game script, it seems that investing in the football in turn 1 enables a related decree you can pass, "Invest in Rizia Imperii Football Infrastructure". The decree has positive impact on both public opinion and tourism level.

if you don't invest, later on you get a -1 penalty of wealth and your team gets embarrassed on the world stage. i would just invest. Sorry. i dont know how to black out text to stop spoilers
