[Saba Sports News] A few days ago, FIFA officially released its revenue performance for 2025. Thanks to the great success of the Club World Cup, FIFA is on track to surpass its unprecedented full-cycle revenue target. As the third year of the 2023–2026 cycle delivered strong revenue results, FIFA is well positioned to exceed the record-breaking four-year revenue budget set for the cycle. FIFA is steadily moving toward surpassing its revenue projection of $13 billion for the 2023–2026 cycle, with 93% of the total budgeted revenue already achieved by the end of 2025. In 2025, FIFA’s total revenue reached $2.661 billion, exceeding the revised annual forecast approved at the 75th FIFA Congress in May 2025 by 9% ($225 million). This strong performance is attributed to the groundbreaking 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which surpassed all expectations both on and off the pitch.
The editor believes that the sale of television broadcasting rights contributed the lion’s share of FIFA’s revenue in 2025, amounting to $1.044 billion, which exceeded expectations by 1%. As the world’s largest streaming platform, DAZN broadcast all 63 matches of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup live in multiple languages, offering this historic club tournament free of charge to football fans worldwide. This fully demonstrates FIFA’s commitment to making football truly global.
