Spain’s Barcelona, Germany’s Bayern Munich and England’s Chelsea received high compensations from FIFA for letting a large number of their players participate in the 2010 World Cup.
The football governing body is said to have shared a bit more than £25million among 400 football clubs in 55 countries—simply for their contributions in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. According to FIFA figures, clubs from England topped the list of compensation with a combined sum of £3.8 million.
German clubs came next, sharing a total amount of £3.05million—while Spanish clubs came third in the standings with £2.4million. The Federation International of Football Association—whose broadcasting and commercial revenues have lied around the amount of £2.2billion in its 4-year financial phase prior to the 2010 World Cup— is set to announce its profits later in March this year.
Yet for now, they have disclosed the top clubs’ size of compensation. Below is a brief idea of their World Cup payday:
Barcelona - £557,000
Bayern Munich - £501,000
Chelsea - £491,000
Liverpool - £449,000
The Catalans received the highest prize after they sent 13 players to South Africa, with 7 of them coming back victorious as part of the Spanish national team who won the cup. Bayern Munich had 7 of their men in the German national team at the exclusion of Dutch finalists Arjen Robben and Mark van Bommel; whereas Chelsea released 13 players who all failed to reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup.
