Can anyone help me here? Various press and media reports I’ve read over the last few days all suggest that FIFA has made a £2 billion pound profit from 2010 South Africa. I would love to know how much of this will be passed back to fund grassroots development of football around the world, particularly in Africa. I ask because I honestly don’t know what FIFA does with this immense amount of profit – does anybody have facts and figures? I am not pointing fingers or looking for conspiracy theories – I would genuinely just like to know how this money is put back into football around the world. Any answers out there?
