ZURICH (DA) — FIFA’s upcoming 2027-2030 Forward 4.0 cycle would raise development funding for the Curaçao Football Federation (FFK) to about USD 6.54 million if the announced 20% increase is applied to its current Forward 3.0 allocation, according to the annexe in the Annual Report 2025.
That would amount to roughly USD 2.18 million per year for FFK in the new cycle.
The annexe, titled FIFA Forward funds to FIFA Member Associations, lists FFK with USD 5.45 million in available funds for the 2023-2025 Forward 3.0 cycle. That works out to about USD 1.82 million per year across the current three-year period.
A 20% increase on that USD 5.45 million figure would add about USD 1.09 million, lifting the projected total to roughly USD 6.54 million for the 2027-2030 Forward 4.0 cycle.
Under Forward 3.0, FFK’s available funds were broken down into USD 900,000 for project costs, USD 3.191 million for operational costs and USD 748,000 for travel and equipment costs. The annexe shows USD 4.839 million of that total had been released, or 89%.
FIFA said in its Annual Report 2025 that Forward investments will reach a new high of USD 2.7 billion in the next cycle as part of a broader expansion in football development funding for member associations.
“FIFA is fulfilling its mission to improve and promote the game globally by reinvesting unprecedented resources into football,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino said. “This is not just about numbers, but about concrete outcomes, such as more opportunities to compete at the highest level for men, women and youth players, as well as better infrastructure and enhanced access to technology across all our FIFA Member Associations, to mention but a few.”
For FFK, that would mean about USD 1.09 million more over the cycle, or roughly USD 363,000 more per year compared with its current Forward 3.0 funding level.
