How much will the winner of the Qatar World Cup receive?
The FIFA Governing body announced last April 2022 that the Qatar World Cup champions will receive a whopping $42 million in prize money. This is a huge increase compared to the last editions of the World Cup. In 2018, France received $38 million as a winner. Prior to 2006, the World Cup winner pocketed just more than $10 million, while the 1982 champions Italy walked away with $2 million for their campaign. On the other side, the football governing body will provide $60 million for the 2023 Women’s World Cup, which is much much higher than the cricket. The major factor of this huge prize was that the FIFA had a 2022 revenue budget of $4.6 billion, with the broadcasting rights set to contribute $2.6 billion alone in profit.
