00:00We had a very important council meeting here today in Doha, where 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.
00:18Minimum of 9 million for the participation, plus 1.5 million preparation money,
00:23so 10.5 million for every member association participating in the World Cup.
00:28And the winner gets 50 million US dollars, an increase of 50% compared to the World Cup 2022 in Qatar.
00:38So everyone will be excited to win the World Cup, not for the prize money, for the trophy,
00:45but the prize money is a nice add-on. And this was a very important first decision.
