Chelsea are set to earn $3.05million (£2.47million) for their 12 players involved in this year's FIFA World Cup with the competition reaching its climax on Sunday afternoon.
FIFA will distribute $209million (£169million) as part of its Clubs Benefits Programme, which will see the governing body hand out about $10,000 (£8,100) for each day a club's player has been participating in the international tournament. This includes the week of training and preparation before the World Cup officially started.
Chelsea had a total of 12 players representing their respective countries at this year's competition. Edouard Mendy, Kalidou Koulibaly (both Senegal), Cesar Azpilicueta (Spain), Thiago Silva (Brazil), Denis Zakaria (Switzerland), Mateo Kovacic (Croatia), Kai Havertz (Germany), Hakim Ziyech (Morocco), Christian Pulisic (USA), Conor Gallagher, Raheem Sterling and Mason Mount (all England) all took part in Qatar.
