The bonus increase coincided with FIFA organizing its first month-long Club World Cup in the United States, which added approximately $2 billion to FIFA's revenue. FIFA projects $14 billion in revenue for the 2027-2030 cycle, which includes the men's and women's World Cups and another Club World Cup. FIFA plans to allocate $2.7 billion of this revenue to its member federations and football bodies, a 20% increase. The 2030 Men's World Cup will be co-hosted by Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, with single games in Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
