Leeds United will receive at least £484,000 in compensation from FIFA for allowing their players to represent their countries during the group stages of the 2022 World Cup.
The Premier League paused for six weeks on Sunday, as FIFA prepare to host the World Cup during the winter for the first time in the history of the tournament.
Over 100 players from 20 Premier League clubs are heading to Qatar, and FIFA will pay around £8,500 per player, per day. There will be six days of training before the tournament and a 13-day group stage meaning each player will earn their club a total of £161,500 over the 19 days.
However, that amount could increase depending on whether a player progresses beyond the group stage. Three Leeds players are heading to the World Cup, with Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams starring for the United States and Rasmus Kristensen representing Euro 2020 semi-finalists Denmark.
Manchester City will pocket more than any other Premier League club during the World Cup group stage. The reigning Premier League champions have 16 players jetting out to the Middle East and will receive a handsome fee of £2.58 million.
Their local rivals Manchester United have 14 players at the tournament and will receive £2.26 million (the second-highest amount in the English top-flight).
Southampton and Crystal Palace are the only two Premier League clubs with just one player at the tournament. They will receive the lowest amount among the 20 clubs with FIFA paying them in the region of just £161,000.
