Bristol City could profit from Fifa windfall during Antoine Semenyo's appearance at World Cup

Antoine Semenyo's participation at the World Cup for Ghana could rake in £9,000 a day from Fifa in a compensation package.

Football's world governing body have put together a Club Benefits Programme to "recognise the contribution of the clubs towards the tournament" which takes place in Qatar during the regular season. They have set aside around £189million which is likely to benefit over 400 clubs around the world.

Bristol City will be one of those because "the compensation will be paid to all clubs for which the footballer has played in the two years prior to the World Cup". With Semenyo coming through the Robins academy, it means the Robins will receive £9,000 for each one day he remains with Ghana during the tournament and the preparation period.
