is only about a week away from the opening of the Qatar World Cup. The five major leagues will also complete the final round before the World Cup this weekend. Some players who have completed the game have already flown to the national team to report in advance, and will participate in the warm-up match in the next few days. , make final preparations for the most important football event of 2022. Recently, FIFA announced the prize distribution plan for the Qatar World Cup. The total amount is 440 million US dollars, or about 3.2 billion yuan. The champion can get 42 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 300 million yuan.
However, in the more than 90-year history of the World Cup, less than 10 teams have won the championship. Even if they are unpopular, back and forth is the world of the top seven in Europe and South America, including the two-time World Cup winner Uruguay , it is difficult to touch the highest honor in football. Therefore, for most teams, the championship bonus is out of reach, and they can only try to strive for a higher ranking, because the better the performance, the more generous the bonus. In fact, all 32 participating teams can get an initial bonus of 9 million US dollars, or about 65 million yuan. Before the start of the game, the official will provide each team with 1.5 million US dollars, or about 10.8 million as preparation funds.
After the group stage is over, the 16 teams will go home, but they can take away a lot of money. Even if all the staff are added, each person can get more than 100,000 US dollars, which is high for the annual income. It may not be a big deal for the stars, but for many players in weak football countries, it is definitely a huge reward. Because of this, many players' lifelong dream is to participate in the World Cup. Even if they are closed, they will go out with the team. In addition to the role of national honor and football dreams, winning bonuses is also an important purpose.
After the top 8 games, the teams with 8 outsets can get 13 million US dollars, or about 93 million yuan in prize money. The 4 teams that successfully entered the top 4 but failed to reach the semifinals will receive a bonus of US$17 million, or about 120 million RMB. The Qatar World Cup champion will receive US$42 million, or about 300 million yuan, the runner-up will be worth US$30 million, or about 215 million yuan, and the third and third place will be worth US$27 million (194 million yuan) and US$25 million (180 million yuan respectively). ). Among them, the championship bonus is 4 million US dollars more than during the World Cup in Russia. Seeing these generous bonuses, many fans naturally think of our own national football team. It is a pity that the national football team was not able to participate in the competition, so they can only sit on the sidelines!
Professionals said that in order to prevent unfair distribution of bonuses, FIFA limited each player to a maximum of $370,000, with a one-day cap of $10,000. That is to say, even if a player follows the team to the final and wins the championship, it will only take about a month, and it will never exceed the cap amount. In addition to giving bonuses to participating teams, FIFA will provide a total of 200 million US dollars in compensation to clubs that provide World Cup internationals in order to thank clubs for their concessions for the World Cup and the possible large-scale injury wave. .
