FIFA to boost World Cup prize fund by 50% for 2026

The prize for winning next year's football World Cup in North America will increase to $50m (£37m), FIFA has announced.

Football's global governing body is boosting the overall prize pot for the tournament by 50%, compared to Qatar in 2022 when the champions Argentina won $42m. Forty-eight teams will compete in the expanded tournament - hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico - and share $655m (£490m).

The 2026 World Cup will be a huge money-spinner in terms of advertising rights and ticket sales and is expected to earn FIFA at least $10bn (£7.4bn) in revenue. The announcement follows FIFA confirming a limited number of cheaper tickets will be available for each game after widespread criticism they were grossly overpriced.

The prizes for the tournament are as follows: Winners - $50mRunner-up - $33m3rd - $29m4th - $27m5th-8th - $19m9th-16th - $15m17th-32nd - $11m33rd-48th - $9m All 48 teams will also get $1.5m to cover "preparation costs.
