The FIFA is poised for a lucrative partnership with Saudi oil giant Aramco, according to reports from The Times.
Already a partner in Formula 1, cricket, and golf, Aramco is set to become a key ally of FIFA.
The envisaged partnership is expected to span about ten years until 2034, generating approximately €96 million annually for FIFA.
While neither party has officially commented on the matter, if the deal is sealed, FIFA and its president Gianni Infantino could be looking at a windfall of €960 million.
