\"\"<\/a>Football\u2019s world governing body, Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) has revealed that it made an amount of $1.2 billion from the South Africa 2010 World Cup.<\/p>\n

According to FIFA, the money realized was far more better than that of the Germany 2006 World Cup which realized $600 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was better news from 2010 as FIFA had realised $1. 2 billion after the World Cup in South Africa compared to $600 million realised after Germany 2006 World Cup\u201d, FIFA President Sepp Blatter said.<\/p>\n

He made the disclosure when he addressed the 33rd Confederation of African Football General Assembly in Khartoum, Sudan on\u00a0 February 23, 2011.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Federations and associations will benefit from this windfall, this again is victory for Africa\u201d said Mr. Blatter.<\/p>\n

The money, FIFA said could be sustained for 18 months if a World Cup is canceled.<\/p>\n

FIFA began the World Cup year with reserves of $1.06 billion, the Associated Press reported.<\/p>\n

In Ghana, FIFA and the Football Association (GFA) have funded four major projects dubbed \u201cFIFA Goal Projects\u201d.<\/p>\n

The first project, Goal One was a $400,000 grant to start development of a technical centre at Prampram.<\/p>\n

The money for Goal Two was used to build the Ghana Football Association headquarters in Accra.<\/p>\n

Goal Three was the multi-purpose restaurant and kitchen plus a conference facility to cater for national soccer teams in the country.<\/p>\n

The fourth one, which the GFA and FIFA recently signed, is to construct a world-class football academy in Ghana.<\/p>\n
