PSG to Receive Nearly 2.5 Million Euros in FIFA World Cup Compensation
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will receive approximately €2.49 million in compensation from FIFA's Club Benefits Programme for releasing 16 players to the 2026 World Cup, making it the second-best compensated club globally behind Manchester City (€3.1 million, 19 players). Arsenal ranks third with €2.4 million. Bayern Munich, despite sending 18 players, drops to fourth (€2.3 million) due to Germany's early round-of-16 exit. In Ligue 1, PSG dominates, followed by Lille (€1.2 million, 8 players) and Monaco (€960,000, 6 players). Ligue 1 ranks fourth among leagues with €11.83 million total, behind the Premier League, Bundesliga, and La Liga. Compensation is calculated at €4,300 per player per day from June 1 to July 19, 2026, distributed proportionally among clubs that employed players over the previous two seasons, within a total FIFA envelope of €305.3 million.
