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.

FIFA’s Club Benefit programme has been expanded to include qualification matches, paying clubs for time spent on international duty. Sunderland have already banked income from recent qualifiers. After Qatar 2022, about $209 million was shared, roughly $10,000 per player per day, and the pot is around $355 million this time.

Granit Xhaka, Omar Alderete, Habib Diarra and Nilson Angulo are regulars for Switzerland, Paraguay, Senegal and Ecuador and, if fit, are locks for their squads. Sadiki is a DR Congo regular, while Ellborg now has a strong chance with Sweden.

Robin Roefs is in the frame for the Netherlands, with Brian Brobbey and Lutsharel Geertruida also contenders. Chemsdine Talbi looks likely to travel after a first Morocco start on Tuesday. Wilson Isidor will travel with Haiti after a debut goal during this break.

Simon Adingra and Arthur Masuaku could feature for the Ivory Coast and DR Congo, though their Sunderland futures are uncertain. If all 12 make it, three weeks of duty would have been worth around £200,000 per player in 2022, rising if teams reach the last 16 and likely higher under the new pot.

On that basis, 12 players for three weeks equated to about £2,250,000 in 2022, a figure Sunderland may very possibly top this summer. A fraction of Premier League riches, but a welcome boost.

Also bear in mind that we don't get the full allocation for the player if they haven't been at SAFC for the full 2 years prior so it goes to their former clubs. For example 50% of all those signed this season will go to us, just $5,000 for example, and 50% to their old clubs.

The "Lookback" Rule Catch
Because Sunderland signed many of these players during their spectacular recruitment drives over the last 12 to 18 months, they will have to share a small portion of the daily fee with the players' former clubs. FIFA calculates payments based on where a player was registered over the entire two-year period leading up to the tournament

Now I’m no Carole Vorderman, but 50% to their old clubs is no ‘small portion’, it’s almost half!

Probably only make about 2.5 mill.
 
It could be less in financial value than one premier league place - our move up several places on the last day netted us significantly more, even without counting Europe.

However, it will be good to hear us mentioned and will certainly not harm our profile.
