"As part of its commitment to recognise the contribution that football clubs make to the successful staging of the FIFA World Cup™, today FIFA started the application process for its Club Benefits Programme that will see USD 209 million distributed to clubs across the world," FIFA said in a statement.

It added that this initiative saw 416 sides from 63 member federations benefiting from the same amount following the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

A club can apply to the benefits program to be paid $180,000 for each World Cup player whose nation reached the group stage, rising to $220,000 for the last 16, $280,000 for the quarterfinals, $320,000 if they qualified for the semifinals and $370,000 for the final.

English Premier League club Manchester City will have $5.5 million from FIFA’s Club Benefits Program for the participation of their 16 players in Qatar.

Having 17 players in 2022 Qatar, La Liga side Barcelona will receive $4.1 million. Barca had eight players in Spain's national team, which were eliminated in the Round of 16.

Manchester United will get a total of $3.6 million for having 13 players in the World Cup.

Chelsea will receive $3 million for 12 players, and Tottenham will get $2.8 million for 11 players.
