FIFA Will Give Tk 214Cr to BFF

FIFA, the world's top football governing body, has been trying to host the World Cup for two consecutive years. If their plan succeeds, FIFA will offer an additional Tk 137 crore over the next four years to member states' federations. As a result, Bangladesh, which is lagging behind the top-ranked teams like Brazil, Argentina, and France, will also get this extra money.

FIFA sent lucrative proposals for 210 federations to the Global Summit online on Monday night.

The summit was attended by 206 members from 210 federations. There, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said: "Neutral experts have suggested that hosting the World Cup for two consecutive years would increase revenue by more than $440 Crore in the first four years." This fund will be divided among 211 members.

According to the FIFA president, the federations currently receive $6 million (Tk 51.43 crore) per cycle, which will increase to about $2.05 Crore (Tk 214.28 crore). Distribution may vary according to FIFA's governing policy.

Most football federations can agree to FIFA's tempting offer. The Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) has already agreed to host the World Cup for two consecutive years. As a result, the country's football governing body will have the opportunity to earn a huge amount of money.
