Thursday, May 14, 2026 - FIFA are preparing a major compensation package for football clubs whose players will represent their countries at the 2026 World Cup.
According to Melchor Ruiz of El Partidazo de COPE, clubs are
expected to receive more than €9,000 per player per day throughout the
tournament.
The payments will apply not only to clubs that own the
players’ contracts, but also to teams where footballers are currently playing
on loan.
The 2026 World Cup will be staged across the United
States, Canada, and Mexico, running for 38 days from June 11 to
July 19.
With the tournament expanding to 48 teams for the first
time, clubs are expected to lose players for longer periods than in previous
editions, increasing concerns over player workload and fixture congestion.
The compensation programme is designed to ease those
concerns and reward clubs for releasing players for international duty during
one of the biggest sporting events in the world.
