"Infantino's basic annual salary was unchanged at 2.6 million Swiss francs ($3.3m) and his bonus rose by 550,000 Swiss francs ($695,000) to 2.2 million Swiss francs ($2.78m) in 2025, when FIFA organised its first monthlong men's Club World Cup in the United States."
"The Club World Cup heavily backed by Saudi Arabian money added about $2bn to FIFA's revenue, which is set to be at least $13bn for the four-year period through this year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico."
"FIFA said it aims to allocate $2.7bn of its $14bn revenue in development money to its 211-member federations, plus continental and regional football bodies. That would be a 20 percent increase on the current four-year period."
FIFA President Gianni Infantino's compensation package reached $6m in 2025, featuring a 33% increase in his annual bonus to 2.2 million Swiss francs ($2.78m), while his base salary remained at 2.6 million Swiss francs ($3.3m). The bonus increase coincided with FIFA organizing its inaugural monthlong men's Club World Cup in the United States, which generated approximately $2bn in additional revenue. FIFA's total revenue for the current four-year period through this year's World Cup is projected at $13bn. Looking ahead, FIFA published accounts targeting $14bn in revenue for 2027-30, encompassing a second Club World Cup, men's World Cup in Spain/Portugal/Morocco, and Women's World Cup in Brazil. FIFA plans allocating $2.7bn in development funding to member federations, representing a 20% increase from the current cycle.
