FIFA vs WUFO

How to read this comparison

Each WUFO amount = USD 7,567.916m × its published legal percentage / 100.01. Corpus percentages add to 100.01% due to rounding; normalization keeps the printed percentages unchanged while allocating exactly 100% of the comparison envelope. Legally these percentages describe expenditure, not revenue. Original founding amounts are shown for reference.

Both sides start with FIFA’s actual Qatar 2022 cycle revenue of USD 7,567.916m. FIFA shows expenditure actually recorded in 2019–2022. WUFO hypothetically allocates that entire same envelope across its 17 lines using the corpus’s legal expenditure percentages.

FIFA spent USD 6,623.210m, or 87.52% of revenue, leaving USD 944.706m before tax and financial result. In this WUFO scenario 100% of the comparison envelope is allocated; a zero balance here does not describe WUFO’s founding cycle result or an actual approved budget.

Separately, STA / ART-86 and REG-24 set USD 5,750m revenue and USD 5,360.65m expenditure as founding benchmarks. The 17 published expenditure percentages add to 100.01% due to rounding; the calculation normalizes them to 100%. Reserve is counted once inside the 17 lines.

The supplied FIFA DOCX contains a USD 4,483m table that does not reconcile with full official 2019–2022 expenses; this sheet uses FIFA’s annual report. The WUFO DOCX says “5 Unions”; the current corpus assigns line 3 to six Historical Confederations.
