The International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA) has announced that clubs permitting their players to participate in the 2026 World Cup will receive compensation of at least $5,000 for each player and for each day they participate in the tournament. Additionally, there will be an extra amount based on the player's match participation and duration of involvement, with the final value to be announced after the tournament concludes. This move comes as part of a 70% increase in funding for clubs compared to the 2022 World Cup, with substantial amounts allocated to compensate clubs for World Cup qualifiers and the final tournament period. The 2026 edition will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and will feature an increased number of matches totaling 104, with projected revenues reaching up to $8.9 billion in 2026.
