The country that goes all the way to win the 2022 World Cup will earn $50m (£45m).
FIFA’s total projected revenue for the year is expected to be about $4.6bn (£4bn).
With $2.6bn (£2.3bn) coming from broadcasting deals and an additional $1.35bn (£1.17bn) from sponsorship and marketing agreements. FIFA say that they have seven official partners including adidas, Coca Cola and Visa.
FIFA have committed about $700m (£632.3m) in payments for the 32 national teams. And hundreds of clubs providing players with $440m of that squared off as tournament prize money.
While the eventual winners will receive a handsome sum for their endeavours, all nations will get $10m from FIFA for participating in the group stage, That is on top of a $2m advance payment for pre-tournament camps and other preparations.
How the prize money will be spent by the suits in charge of the winning nation will differ. But every team will have negotiated their own performance-related bonus system with their federations.
If England had gone on to win the 2018 World Cup, Gareth Southgate’s players would have evenly split a £5m pot , £217,000 per player, having agreed upon it with the Football Association months in advance. Southgate’s contract included a bonus for £1.5m.
