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.
