The compensation paid to clubs that release players for the men’s World Cup has been increased by nearly 70% by FIFA. The overall sum will be $355 million for the 2026 and 2030 tournaments, the global soccer governing body and the European Club Association (ECA) said on Monday.
The Club Benefits Programme gives the opportunity to clubs for a share of national team competition revenues in return for releasing players and also protects clubs in case any of their players are injured on international duty.
The previous amount earmarked for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups was $209 million.
