How much money will players make in the 2022 FIFA World Cup?
Each respective national team decides what percentage of the winnings goes to the players. For example, Germany said it would award around $400,000 to each player if the nation won the 2018 World Cup, with smaller bonuses for just making the semifinals or quarterfinals. Spain, meanwhile, promised a payday of around $930,000 to its players if it won the 2018 tournament. The prize money is on top of the salaries players receive from their national team. France star Kylian Mbappe reportedly earned around $22,300 per match in the 2018 World Cup. That was in addition to the roughly $350,000 bonus he got for winning the tournament. Mbappe then donated all of his World Cup winnings to the charity Premiers de Cordée, which offers free sports activities to disabled and hospitalized children in France.
In addition to the prize-money listed above, each national team received $1.5m from FIFA before the tournament to cover “preparation costs”.
