So, where does the money go? In 2014 Germany's national team received $35 million from FIFA in exchange for winning the World Cup in 2014. That number helps make the NFL the leading revenue generator among all professional sports leagues, having surpassed $14 billion during the 2017 season.Īlthough the World Cup lasts just a month and features 64 games, its 2018 revenue eclipsed $5 billion. The Super Bowl accounts for an estimated $620 million of the NFL's revenue. The TV rights for the 2014 World Cup ($2.43 billion) exceeded all of FIFA's expenditures ($2.22 billion) for the tournament in Brazil. The massive viewership numbers of the World Cup and Super Bowl pad the coffers of FIFA and the NFL respectively.įIFA has turned a profit of $5 billion or just below from the last three World Cups.
