Compensation to be hiked by nearly 70% for the 2026 and 2030 tournaments
Fifa’s compensation paid to clubs that release players for the men’s World Cup has been increased nearly 70% to $355m for the 2026 and 2030 tournaments, the global soccer governing body and the European Club Association said on Monday.
The previous amount earmarked for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups was $209m. A renewed memorandum of understanding was signed on Monday at the ECA general assembly in Budapest, Hungary. Earlier in March, Fifa had announced a 32-team Club World Cup will be played every four years from June 2025, replacing its annual competition, which featured seven teams.
“Fifa and ECA will also now establish closer working practices on a future new Club World Cup ... and working together on future editions including on potential structures for managing the commercial rights going forward.”
