Newcastle United will receive a financial boost during the 2022 World Cup thanks to a long-running FIFA scheme. The 'Club Benefits Programme' sees clubs across the world receive $10,000 (£9049) per player per day before and during the Qatar showpiece.
The governing body says the scheme is to 'recognise the contribution of clubs towards the tournament'. $209m (£188.8m) has been dedicated towards the programme, which benefited more than 400 clubs across 63 countries during the World Cup in Russia four years ago.
Newcastle look set to send four players to Qatar this winter, with Bruno Guimaraes, Kieran Trippier, Nick Pope and Fabian Schar all expected to feature for their countries next month. Clubs will receive the funds both during the preparation period before the tournament and during the competition itself until countries suffer an exit.
