World Cup 2026: record prize of 871 million dollars

The 48 teams will receive at least $12.5 million each.

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.

Necaxa and Monterrey seek to remain undefeated in the Apertura 2026

Both teams arrive with a victory on matchday 1. Who will continue adding?

Duel of the undefeated in Aguascalientes

Rayos del Necaxa and Rayados de Monterrey face each other this Sunday, July 26, on date 2 of Apertura 2026. Both teams started the tournament with victory and will seek to maintain the perfect pace.

The hydrocalids want to take advantage of the locality. On matchday 1 they beat Atlante 2-1 in the Clásico del Pueblo. However, their performance at home was one of the weak points last tournament: they barely won three games at Victoria.

For its part, Monterrey debuted with a 3-2 win over Santos Laguna under the direction of Matías Almeida. Outside of the Steel Giant, the Monterrey team only won two games in the previous campaign, with four losses and two draws.

The recent history favors the visit. In Clausura 2026, also on date 2 and in Aguascalientes, the Rayados won 2-0.

Match details

  • Stadium: Victoria
  • Time: 5:00 p.m.
  • Transmission: Fox One

The meeting promises intensity. Necaxa will try to show that their improvement at home was not a coincidence, while Monterrey will seek to impose their hierarchy as a visitor.
