GENEVA — FIFA on Tuesday asked soccer clubs around the world to request cash from a $209 million fund set aside to free players for this year’s World Cup in Qatar.
Clubs get a daily payout, which FIFA estimates at around $10,000, provided 832 players chosen for the 32 teams are on the national team before the tournament. The preparation era begins on November 14 and the tournament ends on December 18. .
The $209 million fund, approved through FIFA and the European Club Association in 2015, also rewards clubs that have contributed to the progression of World Cup players. Each player’s bottom percentage is divided among the clubs they have played for in the past two years. .
FIFA said more than 400 clubs in 63 other member countries had earned shares of the $209 million fund allocated from advertising revenue from the 2018 World Cup.
The Club Benefits Programme created in a 2008 agreement with FIFA to recognise the new ECA as a more democratic representative of the team’s interests.
European groups employ around 75% of the players participating in the World Cup.
FIFA contributed $40 million to the fund for players participating in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and $70 million four years later for the tournament in Brazil.
Clubs are expected to get a higher percentage from the 2026 World Cup, which will have around 50% more players in an expanded 48-team tournament.
FIFA’s earnings from sponsorship, ticket sales and corporate hospitality are also expected to increase sharply for the 2026 edition, which will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
A similar payment formula is run through UEFA for the European Championship, which values two hundred million euros ($194 million) for last year’s tournament.
Chelsea received the largest percentage of 5. 1 million euros ($5 million) from the Euro 2020 fund, which also rewarded clubs whose players were called up for qualifying matches.
