FIFA allocates $209m in compensation to clubs with players at Qatar 2022

October 11 – FIFA has opened the financial compensation process for clubs whose players will participate in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The Club Benefits program will see $209 million distributed to clubs around the world. In 2018, following the World Cup in Russia, 416 clubs from 63 member associations benefited from the programme.

Compensation for clubs consists of paying $10,000 for each of the days the player concerned remains with his national team during the Qatar 2022 World Cup and the official preparation period. The compensation will be paid to all the clubs for which the footballer has played in the two years preceding the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Clubs can claim compensation digitally through the FIFA Professional Football Landscape platform.

The Club Benefits program was launched in 2010 as part of an agreement between FIFA and the European Club Association. It was extended in 2015 to cover the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
