Corporate sponsorship during the 2006 World Cup has been a major source of revenue for FIFA, but it has also led to criticism for overly commercializing the event and allocating too many game tickets to sponsors, as well as for prohibitive actions against non-sponsor advertising around the stadiums. FIFA has defended its policies by pointing out that all of its profits from the World Cup are invested back into worldwide football.

“Though beautie be the marke of praise,
And yours of whom I sing be such

Yet is’t your vertue now I raise.”

No one touches the water of life.

And though it refreshes absolutely
It is a cup that must also pass
Until everybody
Gets some advantage....”
