As FIFA announces, commercial rights are to be sold to investors. This would generate more than four billion dollars for the world governing body.
FIFA is planning for investors to buy into the World Cup.
"The Times" first reported on the football world governing body's plans, but FIFA has now announced the plan itself. Accordingly, a portion of the commercial rights for tournaments is to be sold to investors.
According to the announcement, the association aims to generate more than four billion dollars from this. This also includes the upcoming World Cups, which will be organized under a new company, with FIFA being the majority owner.
According to FIFA, private financiers can purchase around 20 percent of the shares in the subsidiary FFE. In this newly established company, the rights for the Women's and Men's World Cups, as well as the Club World Cup, will be bundled.
