FIFA World Cup™
The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ was an extraordinary success with memorable experiences and unforgettable footballing moments.
Because the tournament took place in 2022, all related expenses – costs incurred in previous years and up to the end of 2022 – are fully recognised in profit or loss of the 2022 reporting year. These expenses are the outflow of economic benefits that arise in the ordinary activity of organising the event.
The costs attributable to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 over the cycle are USD 39.3 million in 2019, USD 75.7 million in 2020, USD 140.8 million in 2021 and USD 1,575.4 million in 2022. The main cost categories were prize money amounting to USD 440 million, TV operations at USD 247.8 million, workforce at USD 217.3 million, the Club Benefits Programme at USD 209 million and further preparatory, organisational and administrative costs of USD 717.1 million.
Other FIFA events
Other FIFA events for 2022 include the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup 2022™, the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup 2022™, the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 intercontinental play-off matches, FIFA’s eFootball tournaments and the Blue Stars/ FIFA Youth Cup™.
The expenses for other FIFA events are recognised in the year in which the event takes place, and include the event organising costs, such as promotion, production, prize money, accommodation and operations.
The FIFA Club World Cup 2022™ and The Best FIFA Football Awards™ 2022 were postponed until early 2023.
Expenses incurred up to the end of 2022 for those FIFA events that were postponed have been deferred and will be recognised in profit or loss in the year in which the event takes place.
In 2022, FIFA events from previous cycles benefited from the release of provisions of USD 120 million in connection with legal cases related to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ and the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™. The release of the legal provision was either the result of court decisions or of an expired limitation period. These circumstances led to a re-evaluation of the need for a provision (Note 26).
“Value-in-kind and other” relates to expenses for overall operations as well as for value-in-kind costs, which include predetermined services and the delivery of goods to be used in connection with other FIFA events.
FIFA Club Protection Programme
Under the FIFA Club Protection Programme, clubs are compensated for any injuries due to an accident sustained by their players while on duty with senior men’s representative “A” teams for matches on dates listed in the International Match Calendar. FIFA provides compensation up to a maximum amount for losses incurred by the football club during the period that the football player is temporarily totally disabled. Costs for the FIFA Club Protection Programme are costs for FIFA and are recognised in the year they are incurred. A total of 241 incidents were reported by clubs under the programme in respect of accidents occurring over the 2019- 2022 cycle. In 2022, 71 incidents were counted and the expenditure in the FIFA Club Protection Programme line item was USD 22.2 million (2021: USD 22.7 million).
