FIFA has allocated $440 million in the Qatar World Cup prize money, up from $400 million for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The winners will walk away with $42 million, $4 million more than the $38 million France received in the 2018 final.
The Qatar World Cup is arguably the most controversial in the tournament’s history, with criticism over the plight of migrant workers and serious concerns about LGBTQ+ rights in the Gulf state sparking a backlash long before a ball had ever been kicked.
FIFA has allocated $440 million in prize money, up from $400 million for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The Qatar World Cup winners will walk away with $42 million, $4 million more than the $38 million France received after defeating Croatia in the 2018 final. In May, the U.S. Soccer Federation said it is the first in the world to equalize the FIFA World Cup prize money awarded to men’s and women’s national teams for participation in their respective World Cups.
The Canadian team will not reach the knockout stage in Qatar after losing its second group game Sunday. CTV reports that the proportion of Canada’s prize money that goes to the players is subject to ongoing labor talks that would establish the first collective-bargaining agreement between the players’ association and Canada Soccer. Pay equity with the Canadian women’s soccer team will be a cornerstone of the agreement, according to CTV, citing the players’ association and Canada Soccer.
