I know. I said that 'cause some people were saying FIFA was running out of money since Emirates would drop them and blah blah blah.

Btw you need to filter these accusations. 90% is bullshit...

FIFA invites European TV bids for 2018-2022 WCup

FIFA invited broadcasters in more than 40 European countries on Wednesday to bid for rights to show the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

FIFA already has signed two-tournament deals in the United States, Middle East and Latin America at considerably higher prices than the respective 2010-2014 World Cup contracts.

FIFA earned $2.4 billion in broadcast deals tied to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. It will bank more from the 2014 event in Brazil.

FIFA already has secured contracts worth $3.5 billion for the 2018-2022 events hosted by Russia and Qatar, a clear sign that the World Cup's popularity has not been damaged by a series of corruption scandals to hit world soccer's governing body.

FIFA's objective in Europe is "reaching the widest possible audience and financial targets," Niclas Ericson, director of FIFA's TV division, said in a statement.

FIFA wants broadcasters in markets including Germany, Italy and Turkey to submit offers by Feb. 3. Negotiations are set to start the following week.

The tender doesn't include France, Spain or the United Kingdom.

FIFA earns close to 90 percent of its overall income from World Cup revenue, including sponsorship, hospitality and licensing deals.

In the 2007-10 financial cycle, FIFA generated $4.19 billion in total revenue. It currently has reserves of nearly $1.3 billion.
