FIFA will pay the player’s club $10,000 in compensation for each day a player spends at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
This means that any Ghanaian club whose player is picked for the World Cup would receive at least $120,000 in compensation.
This is part of the World Football Federation’s Club Benefits Programme, which aims to recognize clubs’ contributions to the event.
According to the Daily Mail, $209 million was distributed to over 400 clubs from 63 countries during the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, and Barcelona won the most money because they had the most players at the past World Cup.
The $10,000 compensation is paid by FIFA’s Club Benefits Programme to all clubs for which a player has played in the two years preceding the event.
