England is at the top of the world, at least from an economic point of view, among the federations that participated in the World Football Championship, "Russia 2018". Like the Premier League, the Football Association has shown in recent years that it is capable of generating higher profits.

In the fiscal year 2016/17, the Football Association's income was around 400 million euros (351 million pounds), closing the balance with a profit of 18.5 million euros (16.3 million pounds). This thanks to television rights (150 million euros), as the Football Association manages not only UK television rights but also the FA Cup and FA Community Shield.

The same discussion applies to Germany, which holds second place. In the financial year 2016 (last available), the Deutscher Fußball-Bund (DFB) income was 290 million euros, while the gain of 7.8 million: Germany's national team contributed 85 million euros, while DFB Pokal (German Cup ) with another 63 million euros.

Third, it is France. During the financial year 2016/17 Fédération Française de Football has received contributions from UEFA. But most of the revenue, 238 million euros (812,000 euros) comes from sponsors (87 million) and television rights (52 million).

In fourth place, Spain. Real Federación Española de Fútbol (RFEF) revenues have not gone more than € 136 million, € 43.5 million from television rights. RFEF revenues are slightly higher than those of the Brazilian Football Federation (Confederação Brasileira de Futebol), 128 million euros, of which 83 million sponsors, with Nike leading.

Top 10 is complemented by Portugal (Federação Portuguesa de Futebol, 65.9 million in 2016/17); Switzerland (Association Suisse de Football, 54 million in 2016), Belgium (Koninklijke Belgische Voetbalbond, 54 million in 2017), Argentina (Asociación del Fútbol Argentino, 51 million in 2017, expected to grow to 75m euros in 2018) and Croatia (27m euros in 2017).
