The World Championship brings millions of dollars in revenue to football players' clubs

Football is not just a sport, but has become a global business with billions of dollars in circulation. The upcoming 2026 World Cup will serve as another vivid proof of this. There is fierce competition worldwide to participate in the most prestigious tournament in the football world. This competition will be hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico.

Notably, this time the Uzbekistan national team will participate in the World Cup for the first time in its history. This news is a great motivation not only for fans but also for the clubs that have nurtured our players and contributed to their growth.

FIFA, the international organization governing world football, has announced that it will allocate special payments to clubs sending their players to the 2026 World Cup. It is expected that the total amount allocated for clubs will reach at least 209 million dollars. These funds will be paid directly to the clubs that produced the players, nurtured them, and transferred them.

It seems that the more the Uzbekistan national team plays in the World Cup, the more revenue the clubs that supplied the players will earn. These payments will be fairly distributed among all clubs that participated in the players' careers. For example, one of our team's main goalkeepers, Abduqodir Husanov, will see payments from “Pakhtakor,” his first club “Energetik-BGU,” and “Manchester City” simultaneously for his participation in the World Cup. FIFA plans to pay up to 10 thousand dollars per day for each player.

Additionally, if our legionnaires like Eldor Shomurodov participate in the World Cup, the “Roma” club associated with his career and other clubs that nurtured him will also receive financial incentives.

According to the regulations, FIFA will distribute this money not only to the teams where the players are currently playing but also as a share among all clubs that have worked with that player over the past few years.

Thus, the World Cup opens a great financial opportunity not only for the winning team and its fans but also for clubs around the world. This situation, in turn, brings more motivation and investment for nurturing new talents and developing football infrastructure.

The success of Uzbek players in the 2026 World Cup will undoubtedly bring new spirit and opportunities for the development of football in our entire country
