FIFA, the world’s governing body, announced on Wednesday that the 2026 World Cup winners will receive $ 50 million in prize money as part of a record-setting financial contribution to the event.
The total World Cup prize fund, which is $655 million (5558.5 million euros), is an increase of almost $ 40 million over the previous Qatari tournament’s $ 40 million in 2022.
However, the United States, Mexico, and Canada will host the next World Cup, which will be held from June 11 through July 19. This year’s event will have 48 teams, a 50% increase over the 32 teams that were present last year.

Lionel Messi’s inspiration for glory three years ago, when they won on penalties in the final against France, earned the Argentine Football Association $ 42 million in prize money.
For their berth in the final, France received $ 30 million. The third-place finishers will receive $29 million, while the other defeated semi-finalists will receive $27 million. The beaten finalists will also receive $29 million this time.
Teams that are eliminated from the group phase will receive $9 million, while all 48 participating nations will receive an additional $1.5 million to cover “preparation costs.”
