FIFA Should Be Broke (So How Does It Make $13 Billion?)

FIFA owns no players, no clubs, and no stadiums — yet it projects $13 billion this cycle. How? At Money Mosaic, we strip away the hype and decode the machine underneath. In this business breakdown, we trace FIFA's four revenue engines — broadcasting, ticketing and hospitality, sponsorship, and licensing — plus dynamic pricing, the 15% + 15% resale toll, and why 16 host cities carry the cost while FIFA keeps the margin. We break down these mechanics every week so you can stop guessing and start understanding how money is really made. Because once you see the machine, you never look at a business the same way again.
