How much does FIFA pay clubs at the World Cup?

The World Cup, which attracts the attention of the whole world once every four years, is a competition of great importance not only for national teams and fans, but also for the players' clubs. This is because FIFA pays certain compensation to the clubs for the participation of players in the national team. These funds can be very important for the clubs.

For example, if we look at how this process worked out in the recent World Cup, FIFA paid each player's club $10,000 per day for the 2022 tournament in Qatar. This payment includes not only the days of the competition, but also the preparation process. In total, each player is expected to receive approximately 25-30 days of compensation.

How is this payment calculated? For example, if a player on a national team spends a total of 25 days participating in the championship, his club will receive $250,000 from FIFA. This figure is calculated as follows: 25 days × $10,000 = $250,000.

This amount is paid directly and in full to each player's club. If a player changes clubs during the tournament, FIFA will divide the payment proportionally between the two clubs. This is a fair and transparent process.

However, FIFA's policy on this allocation changes every four years and is constantly increasing. For example, for the 2026 World Cup, FIFA is expected to significantly increase the total compensation paid to clubs. According to some sources and experts, the total money paid to clubs for the 2026 World Cup could rise to $355 million. This represents a significant increase compared to the $209 million in 2022.

This increase will also significantly increase the daily compensation that clubs receive for each player. For example, according to forecasts, in 2026, the amount paid to players for being on the national team could be around $13,000-15,000 per day. In this way, clubs can receive approximately $300,000 or more per player during the tournament.

These funds are especially important for smaller clubs, because through such compensation they will be able to improve their financial situation and retain their players or buy new talents. Especially for large clubs, where more players participate in national teams, these funds are a significant source of additional income.

This policy of FIFA is positively received by all levels of the football world and is also supported by clubs. Because when clubs send their players to national teams, this process causes them certain financial losses. FIFA, however, extends a helping hand to clubs by partially compensating for these losses.

Thus, on the eve of the next World Cup, one can be sure that this process of FIFA will be further improved and the interests of clubs will be protected to a higher level. This, in turn, will lead to the further development of football and the strengthening of relations between players and clubs.

Also, this type of compensation will further increase the interest and responsibility of players to play for national teams, and clubs will be interested in cooperating with national teams.

All this will ensure that the world of football will become more beautiful and fair. That is why the World Cup is an important and interesting event not only for players and fans, but also for clubs.

So, at the next World Cup, clubs can also expect to receive large amounts of financial compensation through the participation of their players in national teams. And for this, the talents they have nurtured will have to play for national teams and demonstrate their skills. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
