Aside from the pride each nation generates for going on a run at the World Cup, each nation also earns World Cup prize money based on their performance.

FIFA will dish out $440 million in prize money for the World Cup as cash is given out depending on which stage of the tournament they reached, plus each team received $1.5 million just for qualifying for the World Cup.

Yes, the game is all about glory and winning the ultimate prize and to be crowned Champions of the World, but players are also playing to earn some nice bonuses which also helps to fund their national teams and associations.

Below is a breakdown of the World Cup prize money table in full, with details on how much each team made from their run at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

How much prize money did the 2018 World Cup winner get?

The $42m alert don already enter Argentina account.

Argentina for GOLD.

And to think that Ghana had already spent Thier prize money on paper

Let the team with the best tactics win. All these Emi lokan doesn't hold water.

Athletico Madrid deserved the champion league but had bad tactics in all their finals.

They said Morrocco played good football but they couldn't flung France out to reach the final.

France purposely allowed them to play the game while they punish them with unexpected counters.

Emotions don't win games. Tactics does!

On Mbappe's mandate the world stands.....

Messi

I love Messi
