FIFA reports $631M profit during last 4 years

FIFA says it made a $631 million profit in the four years leading up to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, registering $202 million of that in last year alone.

The figures FIFA released Thursday for the four-year financial cycle showed income of $4.19 billion from broadcast and commercial deals, with 87 percent tied directly to its marquee event.

Its spending from 2007-10 was $3.56 billion.

The 2010 World Cup helped raise FIFA's reserves to $1.28 billion.

FIFA already has completed most deals for the 2014 World Cup after signing nearly all broadcasters and sponsors to two-tournament packages.
