Manchester City, the English vice-champion, has been included on a global list of clubs anticipated to earn revenue from the FIFA Club Benefits Program due to the participation of its top footballers in the 2026 World Cup. The Premier League side is projected to earn approximately $4.4 million, based on the presence of six players who reached the final stages of the tournament. According to the projections, FC Barcelona is expected to rank second, followed by Bayern Munich in third place, and Arsenal in fourth.
These figures illustrate the distribution of potential earnings from FIFA’s funds. The total prize fund allocated for the 2026 World Cup is a record $355 million. Of this total, $250 million is designated for the participating students at the final.
The financial disbursements are calculated using an estimated rate of $5,000 per player, per day, for the duration of the competition. Furthermore, European clubs are slated to receive substantial prize money at the conclusion of the season. The inclusion of Manchester City on this list underscores the financial benefits associated with global tournament participation for major clubs.
