FIFA has established the compensation structure for clubs whose player assets are loaned out to national teams for the 2026 World Cup. Under the FIFA Club Benefits Program, clubs will receive compensation for every player representing their national team during the designated World Cup period, which spans from January 1 to April 19, 2026. The agreed compensation rate is set at 4,300 euros per player per day.
This total amount will be distributed proportionally among the clubs that the specific player has represented across the two preceding seasons. To support this initiative, FIFA has allocated a substantial fund of 305.3 million euros specifically for the 2026 World Cup program. This financial mechanism is designed to reward clubs for ensuring their player talent remains available to represent their respective national teams throughout the duration of the tournament.
The guidelines provide a clear financial framework for the relationship between FIFA, the clubs, and the participating players during this major international sporting event.
