FIFA announced that it will distribute 871 million dollars among the 48 participating teams in the 2026 World Cup. This figure represents an increase of 15% compared to Qatar 2022 and is the highest in the history of the tournament.
Each team will receive a minimum of 12.5 million dollars. Of that total, 2.5 million are allocated as a preparatory contribution for training camps, travel and logistics. The remaining 10 million are just for qualifying.
The tournament champion will take home 50 million dollars, eleven million more than the runner-up. These amounts have increased by one million compared to the previous edition, partly due to the more complex logistics of a World Cup that will be played in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
In addition to the base salary, FIFA will support teams with fewer resources. The entity will provide additional subsidies for delegation expenses and an increase in ticket allocation, for a total of more than 16 million dollars. These subsidies seek to strengthen the participation of teams that face greater economic challenges.
