As a way to convince member Federations and Associations to hold the Soccer World Cup every two years, the FIFA presented an economic reform Although the date was not determined to start the project that has received the rejection of several Confederations and Leagues worldwide.
FIFA promised at 211 member associations a total of $ 19 million dollars , as a change in the cycle from four years to two, if the World Cup is approved to be played biennially. The amount of money will be distributed equitably and will be a solidarity financing, as the international organization assured.
An example of the equitable distribution of money is that small federations such as Vanuatu or Virgin Islands will be able to receive the same amount as federations such as those of France or England, being a considerable income after receiving $ 6 million of dollars to $ 25 million to reinforce the plan of the FIFA in the change of dates for the World Cups.
If the dates change, the extra income for the World Cup could amount to $ 4. 400 million of dollars alone per organization, but if entry sales, television rights and sponsorship are taken into account, the income could be as high as $ 7000 millions of dollars.
