The winners of the World Cup final between Argentina and France will earn just shy of £35million for securing football’s most coveted title.
The winners will pocket £34.6m for lifting the trophy, which is a rise of £5.6m from four-and-a-half years ago, when Les Bleus defeated Croatia 4-2 in the showpiece event in Moscow. With the runners-up set to secure £24.7m – a rise of £3.7m since 2018 – the outcome of the final is worth £9.9m to the respective sides.
FIFA has allocated a total of £362m for the 32 nations across the tournament - an increase of £33m from Russia - while in 2014, for the tournament in Brazil, the prize pot stood at less than £295m.
