32 teams will seek the greatest glory of football in the Qatar World Cup of 2022, which will be played from November 20 to December 18. In addition to the honor and prestige of this tournament, the World Cup also offers prizes to each of the participants.
National selections have several sources of revenue in competitions of this type, such as those from sponsorships. But, in addition, the World Cup has a guaranteed amount of money for all classified teams.
Since the 2020 Annual Report, Fifa had already announced that it would have a US budget$ 1.696 billion to invest in the Qatari World Cup this year. Of this total, 26% will go to the selection awards.
That equals US.$ 440 million, which will be distributed in each phase of the tournament: groups, final octaves, quarter finals, third and fourth places and finals.
How much does each World Cup team receive?
In a press conference in April, Fifa gave details about the awards of the selections for participating in Qatar's tournament.
The organization highlighted that "all teams will receive US$ 1.5 million before the competition to cover expenses arising from preparations."
Similarly, the numbers per phase were released: Teams that are eliminated in the group phase win (US$ 9 million) Who is eliminated in the final octaves (US$ 13 million)Who is eliminated in the quarter final (US$ 17 million)The fourth place of the World Cup (US)$ 25 million) Third place in the World Cup (US)$ 27 million) The runner-up of the World Cup (US)$ 30 million) The World Cup Champion (US)$ 42 million)
Therefore, only participation in this year’s World Cup will guarantee US selections$ 1.5 million plus US$ 9 million per group phase. In other words, each selection will have at least US$ 10.5 million guaranteed.
