Value is calculated by the number of days the player spends with his selection
A 2026 World Cup starts on the 11th. With the arrival of the tournament, national and international club competitions are suspended. However, there is compensation for clubs that had their players called up for the tournament.
FIFA announced in 2025 that all clubs that had players called up for World Cup and World Cup qualifiers tournament itself would be paid for the release of athletes. The Club Benefits Program (CBP), created in 2010, will distribute US$335 million (approximately R$1.8 billion) between the teams.
The value is calculated by the number of days the athlete spends with his teamafter the total amount is divided by the days of the tournament. For the 2022 World Cup, held in Qatar, the payment was approximately US$10,950 per day. Nthis World Cup, the number was not released, but what is circulating in the international press is that it is something around US$ 11 thousand.
A entity will cover the tournament from ten days before the debut until the day following the last participation in the World Cup. The athlete does not necessarily need to play, just be present in the selection. They receive both the current club and any other club the athlete has spent up to two years before the competition.
To be entitled to the benefit, clubs must register on the FIFA website. In a practical example, the Flamengo should receive up to R$5.5 million from FIFA only for the group stagecounting the four players called up by the Brazilian team, spending 25 days with the team.
