FIFA Proposes Doubling Development Funding; India Could Receive $25 Million
FIFA plans to increase its football development funding to over $6 billion for the 2027-30 cycle, more than doubling previous amounts. Under the proposal, each of FIFA's 211 member associations, including the All India Football Federation (AIFF), could receive $25 million, up from $10 million. The plan also allocates $99 million to each of FIFA's six continental confederations. The proposal will be discussed by the FIFA Council in October and requires approval at the March 2027 FIFA Congress.
