‘Positive change’: FIA delivers strongest financial results in a decade

DUBAI: The Federation Internationale de l’Automobile, the global governing body for motor sport and the federation for mobility organisations worldwide, has reported its strongest operating result in 10 years.

For FY2025, the FIA delivered an operating profit of €6.7 million ($7.6m), up 43 percent year-on-year and representing a significant turnaround from the €24m ($27.3) operating loss reported in 2021. Operating revenue was €191.7m ($218.1m), a 75 percent increase since FY2021.

This result builds on the FIA’s return to profitability delivered in FY2024, and reflects the continued financial transformation of the federation since the election of the president of the FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, in 2021.

Ben Sulayem said: “Six months into my second term as FIA president, I remain committed to ensuring a profitable and financially sustainable operation. Today, I am proud that we have continued to deliver on this mission, achieving the FIA’s strongest operating result in 10 years and building on the significant progress made since 2021.

“Improving the governance, transparency and financial health of the FIA was central to my manifesto pledge, and we have transformed the organisation into a more resilient and professional federation.
