FIFA had $2 billion in revenue for 2014 and $337 in profits with the success of the World Cup in Brazil.

FIFA, which pocketed $140.7 million in profit in 2014 alone, added $91 million to its reserves, which now stand at $1.523 billion. The revenue of $2.096 billion in 2014 raised the four-year total to $5.718 billion.

"This success underscores the huge appeal of FIFA's flagship tournament," the governing body noted in its annual financial report published Friday.

 

FIFA said revenue tied directly to the tournament in Brazil was $4.826 billion, compared to $3.655 billion for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Much of the increase is due to an accounting change which includes ticket sales.
