00:00How much is winning the World Cup actually worth?
00:03As the 2026 World Cup wraps up, FIFA is distributing a record $871 million to the tournament's 48 participating national
00:11associations.
00:13Of that, $655 million is being awarded as performance prize money, with the biggest individual payout going to the champion.
00:21Whoever lifts the trophy will receive $50 million for their national federation.
00:25That is $8 million more than Argentina received for winning the World Cup in 2022.
00:31What about the runner-up? Second place receives $33 million.
00:35And the bronze medalists? The third-place team takes home $29 million.
00:40But here is the catch. The money does not go directly from FIFA to the players.
00:45It is paid to each country's national football federation.
00:48And how much of that money actually goes to the players depends on each federation's bonus arrangements.
00:55The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch.
00:57The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch.
00:57The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch.
00:57The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch.
00:57The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch.
00:57The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch.
00:57It's the catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The
00:57catch. The catch. The catch. The catch. The catch
