FC Barcelona receives FIFA compensation for De Jong injury
The article discusses Barcelona's compensation from the International Federation of Football (FIFA) due to the injury of their midfielder, Frenkie de Jong, while participating with the Netherlands national team in the 2026 World Cup match against Morocco. It is expected that he will be out for between 4 to 6 months, with a possibility of undergoing surgery. Under FIFA's club protection system, Barcelona will receive a minimum of 2 million euros in financial compensation, based on the duration of his absence. The calculation considers 20,548 euros for each day of absence after a 28-day waiting period, with a maximum compensation cap of 7.5 million euros if the player is absent for up to 365 days. The payment of the compensation stops once the player is able to return to participation or after the 365-day period is exhausted. This step is considered important for compensating the club for the financial damage caused by the serious injury, which impacts their plans for the upcoming season.
