FIFA payouts to national football federations

Overview

In July 2026 FIFA announced financial bonuses for member associations tied to the recent World Cup. On July 6, the Algerian football federation was slated to receive $12.5 million following its round‑of‑16 finish. Later, on July 30, FIFA’s president Gianni Infantino offered Football Australia a $40 million package, comprising an increase in the regular FIFA distribution to about $28 million for the next World Cup cycle and a possible one‑off payment of up to $28 million. The same terms were extended to all 211 FIFA members, signalling a broader effort to fund national projects such as stadium construction and to support federations after the tournament.
