If, as an estimate, investors used a multiplier of five to determine Fifa’s value, then it could be said to be worth about $20 billion. A 25 per cent stake, therefore, would be worth about $5 billion, a big chunk of which could be shared around the 211 member associations, who elect the Fifa president and would decide on this plan if it gets to a vote. Each of the 211 associations would receive a share of the new company, which they could then also sell to private investors — and by some estimates they could receive $20 million for their share. For many smaller, poorer associations this would be like manna from heaven, so much so that any vote would be seen as Christmas voting for turkeys.   submitted by   /u/Sparky-moon [link]   [comments]
