FIFA has announced that clubs will be compensated with around $11,000 per day for each player selected for the 2026 World Cup, a tournament that will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
The decision is considered an important step in the relationship between club football and national teams, as for years clubs have sought financial compensation for the period when their players are active with the national teams.
Minimum guarantee for clubs
According to the agreement presented by FIFA, clubs will benefit from a minimum amount of around $250,000 for each player involved in the tournament, regardless of the performance of his national team.
This means that even in cases where a team is eliminated in the group stage, the club concerned will receive the basic compensation. FIFA aims to alleviate the financial concerns of clubs that release players for international activities.
Big benefits for European clubs
The decision is expected to particularly affect big European clubs, which usually have the highest number of players in the national team.
Teams like Real Madrid, Manchester City or Bayern Munich can benefit from significant amounts of money, due to the large number of players participating in the World Cup with different national teams.
This compensation mechanism is also expected to reduce ongoing tensions between clubs and national federations during international periods.
The greatest World Cup in history
The 2026 World Cup will be the largest edition organized so far, with the participation of 48 national teams.
The increase in the number of teams will bring even more players engaged by clubs, making the total compensation fund significantly higher compared to previous editions.
