But our colleagues from BFM go further in the analysis. Of these 40.2 million in the event of victory, they announce that the French Football Federation will distribute 30% to players and staff members, or 400,000 euros per player. An envelope of 18 million is also planned to donate image rights. Add to that a luxury watch worth 7,600 euros and the account is made: each world champion will individually receive a reward of 554,000 euros.
As the French media specifies, however, players should not directly benefit from this money. Indeed, before this controversial World Cup in Qatar, they had promised to support NGOs working in the “protection of human rights”.
