The 2022 FIFA World Cup is bound to be the most lucrative yet as FIFA continues its upward trajectory in terms of FIFA World Cup prize money....CONTINUE READING
FIFA has set aside $440 million as cash prize for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and $42 million would be going to the winner of the tournament. This is an increase of $4 million on the amount given to France when they won the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
The team that manages to finish as the runner-up, that is, the loser in the final would be getting $30 million. This would serve as a great consolation for the eventual team.
Two games would be played in the semi-finals and the losers from both games would fight for the third-place position. The winner of that third-place deciding match would be getting $27 million while the team that lost the game would finish as the fourth-place team but would still be getting $25 million.
Currently, Croatia and Argentina are guaranteed at least $25 million for their performance in the 2022 FIFA World Cup after qualifying for the semi-finals.
