You've made a bit of a jump here by implying that all of that revenue is from children. It's definitely not scientific but a strawpoll [0] of FIFA's playerbase a few years ago shows its primary demographic is 16-25. It's reasonable to assume they're the majority of spenders in the game too.

You're aware that 16-25 inclues a lot of children, right?
I don't know the breakdown inside that category, but yes I am aware. It also likely includes far more adults than children. My point is that it's not a bunch of under 14 year olds playing the game, it's really much closer to 20 year olds than 15 year olds.
