World Aquatics can puff out its chest: its accounts are good. And even better than good. The site The Sport Examiner reports that the world body for swimming has published its financial results for the year 2023. They show an operating profit of more than 10 million dollars (10,69), for a net profit in excess of 22,40 million, twice the forecasts established at the beginning of the year. According to the treasurer of World Aquatics, the American Dale Neuburger, this performance would have been made possible in particular by the commercial success of the world swimming championships all disciplines in Fukuoka, Japan. The event generated nearly 60 million dollars in revenues from marketing, broadcast rights and hospitality. The balance sheet of the international federation now shows 191,51 million dollars of assets, with financial reserves of 120,80 million dollars. Strong. But the future looks even better. With the Paris 2024 Games, World Aquatics expects to end the current year with, in the coffers, more than 100 million dollars of revenues.
