It is an organization with a whole lot of experience and rules that were created over many years. It is not just about World Cup and continental cups, it is about every single season where each player has FIFA-approved certificate, where all the referees are coached by a separate body, etc. etc.

But FIFA and regional bodies (UEFA, etc.) are so much more than just tournament organizers. It is a set of laws and rules governing contract signing and transfers, referee training, local leagues etc. etc. Even when we come to tournament organization, you need years to set this up with stadiums needed, with some kind of elimination stage, etc. etc.
