The World Cup will bring millions of dollars in revenue to the players' clubs

Football is not just a sport, but a global business with billions of dollars in turnover. The upcoming 2026 World Cup will be another vivid proof of this. A fierce competition is underway around the world to participate in the most prestigious football tournament in the world. This tournament will be hosted by the USA, Canada and Mexico.

It is noteworthy that the national team of Uzbekistan will participate in this World Cup for the first time in its history. This news is a great incentive not only for fans, but also for the clubs that have trained our players and contributed to their growth.

FIFA - the international organization that governs world football - announced that it will allocate a special payment to clubs that will send their players to the 2026 World Cup. It is expected that the total amount of money allocated to clubs will reach at least $ 209 million. These funds will be paid directly to the clubs that produced the players, as well as to the teams that raised, trained and transferred them.

Apparently, the more the Uzbek national team plays in the World Cup, the more income the clubs that provide the players make. These payments are distributed fairly among all the clubs that participated in the players' activities. For example, Pakhtakor, his first club Energetik-BGU and Manchester City will simultaneously receive a fee for the participation of one of the main goalkeepers of our national team, Abdukadir Khusanov, in the World Cup. FIFA plans to pay up to $ 10,000 per day for each player.

Also, if our legionnaires like Eldor Shomurodov participate in the World Cup, the Roma club and other teams that raised him will also receive financial incentives.

According to the procedure, FIFA will distribute this money in the form of a share not only to the teams in which the players play this season, but also to all the clubs that have worked for the player over the past few years.

Thus, the World Cup opens up a huge financial opportunity not only for the winning team and its fans, but also for clubs around the world. This, in turn, will provide even more motivation and investment to nurture new talent and develop football infrastructure.

The success of Uzbek footballers at the 2026 World Cup will undoubtedly give new impetus and opportunities to the development of football in our country as a whole.
