00:00We had a very important Council meeting here today in Doha
00:03where we discussed many points.
00:05First decision taken, the prize money for the FIFA World Cup 2026.
00:12A massive increase, 50% more for all the member associations,
00:18a minimum of $9 million for the participation,
00:21plus $1.5 million in preparation money,
00:23so $10.5 million for every member association participating in the World Cup.
00:28And the winner gets $50 million,
00:32an increase of 50% compared to the World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
00:38So everyone will be excited to win the World Cup,
00:42not for the prize money, for the trophy,
00:45but the prize money is a nice add-on.
00:48And this was a very important first decision.
