Clubs, including Premier League clubs, receive compensation when their players participate in the FIFA World Cup through FIFA's Club Benefits Programme.
Here's how it works:
FIFA sets aside a fund specifically to compensate clubs for releasing players to national teams.
Payments are made for each day a player is involved with his national team during the World Cup period (including preparation camps before the tournament and the tournament itself).
The money is distributed to the clubs that employed the player during a defined qualifying period leading up to the World Cup, not necessarily only the club the player is with during the tournament.
The purpose is to recognize that clubs continue paying player salaries while players are away on international duty and face injury risks.
For example, after the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, FIFA distributed $209 million to clubs worldwide through the Club Benefits Programme. Premier League clubs were among the largest recipients because they supplied so many players to national teams.
