Evangelos Marinakis and Nottingham Forest handed January transfer windfall after World Cup decision

Nottingham Forest are set to receive a cash sum from FIFA following ten player's participation in the World Cup over the last couple of weeks.

It was revealed by FIFA back in October that the organisation will give a payment to clubs for allowing players to take part in the tournament during the season. The payment is made through the Club Benefits programme and will see sides be paid a fee of around 8,202 pounds for every day that players were away from the club for the competition, including official preparation time.

FIFA did though state that the compensation will be paid to all clubs for which the footballer has played in the two years prior to the FIFA World Cup 2022.
