The Winner of the FIFA World Cup Will Receive a Record $50 Million Prize

That amount has increased from $38 million in 2018 to $42 million in 2022. However, it is still less than half of what was available in this year’s far less anticipated Club World Cup. The World Cup, which was held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, had a total prize pool of $655 million, a 50% increase over the previous edition in Qatar, according to the World Soccer Organization.

In contrast, the Club World Cup, which was shoved into the soccer calendar and controversially increased from seven teams to thirty-two, featured a $1 billion prize fund. For a competition that saw strong opposition, the maximum prize for the winning team could reach $125 million.

FIFA has a different distribution scheme for the two competitions, and the difference in prize money reflects things like clubs managing significantly larger salary than national teams. In addition to prize money, additional funds are allocated to the global development of soccer.

The World Cup will be “groundbreaking in terms of its financial contribution to the global football community,” according to FIFA President Gianni Infantino. At a council meeting in Doha, the world soccer governing body authorized the prize money for each World Cup stage.
