FIFA to pay $209 million to clubs for its players participation in 2022 World Cup in Qatar

FIFA has announced that it will distribute $209 million to clubs whose players participated in the previous year’s World Cup finals held in Qatar on Thursday.

A total of 440 clubs from 51 different countries will receive the payment for their players’ involvement in the tournament, which was won by Argentina.

Under this arrangement, FIFA will allocate a daily amount of $10,950 for each of the 837 footballers who competed in the World Cup, irrespective of the minutes they played on the field.

The total sum allocated per player will be divided and distributed among the club or clubs to which the player was registered in the two years leading up to the Qatar finals.

This payment represents an increase from the $8,530 per player that FIFA disbursed during the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

For Qatar, a total of 46 English clubs will be the largest recipients with a combined total of $37,713,297, followed by clubs from Spain, Germany, Italy and France.

Manchester City will be paid the most for a single club with a sum of $4,596,445 followed by Barcelona ($4,538,955) and Bayern Munich ($4,331,809).

Under the agreement signed earlier this year by FIFA and the European Club Association, $355 million will be distributed to clubs under the programme for the 2026 and 2030 editions of the World Cup.
