West Ham United could earn north of £1million for allowing their players to attend the 2022 World Cup.
In total, five members of David Moyes’ current Hammers squad will be in action at the competition, with Declan Rice (England), Lucas Paqueta (Brazil), Thilo Kehrer (Germany), Nayef Aguerd (Morocco) and Alphonse Areola (France) all called up by their countries.
All clubs who have allowed players to represent their countries at the tournament in Qatar will be entitled to a portion of $209million (£177.7million) via FIFA’s Club Benefits Programme. Teams receive a percentage of the fund based on how many players they have at the competition and how long their respective nations are in the World Cup.
