Spain's World Cup 2026 drives Mallorca earnings and spotlights Oyarzabal's goal surge

Real Mallorca earned more than half a million euros from FIFA's compensation programme after players Samu Costa (Portugal) and Johan Mojica (Colombia) featured for their national teams at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The club received roughly €400,000 for the group‑stage period and an additional sum as the players stayed in the tournament beyond the first two weeks, with a further €166,000 linked to former Mallorca player Cyle Larin’s participation with Canada.

Spain’s national team benefitted from striker Mikel Oyarzabal’s prolific form. He scored four goals in the group stage, including a brace in the 4‑0 win over Saudi Arabia and the opening strike in the 3‑0 victory over Austria that secured Spain’s place in the knockout round. Oyarzabal’s tally places him among the tournament’s leading scorers alongside stars such as Messi, Mbappé and Haaland, underscoring his rise from a previously critiqued player to a key offensive figure for La Roja.
