FIFA plans to increase prize money and payments for participants in the 2026 World Cup. This was reported by The Athletic, which noted that the organization is considering increasing the financial prize pool for all 48 national teams participating in the tournament.
The decision is linked to FIFA’s record revenues in the current cycle and the rising costs of national teams. The total prize fund for the 2026 World Cup is expected to exceed that of the previous tournament and become the largest in history.
