This is how much Brighton were paid for World Cup players compared to Leeds, Chelsea, Tottenham and Newcastle - gallery

More than $209 million (£171.6m) was set aside by FIFA as part of its Club Benefit Payments Programme. This resulted in club teams across the world earning money while their players, or players who have been recently contracted to them, are at the FIFA World Cup.

The compensation package worked out at just under $10,000 (£9,000) per day, per player, from the preparation period on November 10 until the day after the country plays its final match at the tournament.

Clubs could apply to FIFA to be paid $180,000, rising to $220,000 for the round of 16, $280,000 for the quarter-finals, $320,000 for the semis and $370,000 for the final and third-place play-off.

The payment for each player at Qatar was split three ways, between the club that held the player’s registration in 2020-21, the club that paid the player in 2021-22, and the club who employs the player this season.

The payment scheme has run since the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Here’s how much money Brighton received from FIFA’s Club Benefit Payments Programme in comparison to their Premier League rivals.
