FIFA to pay clubs $209 million bonus for players on 2022 World Cup duty
Football ruling body FIFA is set to pay a total of $209 million bonus to clubs who had players participating in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
According to a report published on Thursday, Champions League winner Manchester City will receive the highest bonus at $4,596,445, thanks to FIFA’s Club Benefits Programme.
Barcelona will receive the second-highest amount of $4,538,955, followed by Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich with $4,331,809.
The highest-earning club outside of Europe was Qatar’s Al Sadd, who will receive $2,817,911.
“Together with the players and the fans, clubs play a crucial role in making the FIFA World Cup the pinnacle of our game.
“In this respect, the FIFA Club Benefits Programme recognises the contribution that clubs make to the success of the FIFA World Cup,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in the report’s foreword.
The federation is planning to increase the amount redistributed to clubs to $355 million for the 2026 and 2030 tournaments.
