Spain celebrate victory over Argentina defeat in the Fifa world cup 2026.[AFP]
Spain hoisted a trophy, received championship rings for the first time, and gained a lifetime of glory in what will be a defining moment in the country’s sports history. It’ll also lead to a significant payday.
The World Cup winner earns $51 million. The second prize is Sh4.4 billion.
Fifa expanded the payout for the 2026 World Cup, setting a record with a combined $871 million (Sh112 billion) paid to the 48 participating teams. That tally includes more than $100 million (Sh12.9 billion) that was added in April after some federations in Europe lobbied for help to cover costs at a tournament across three countries that has required extensive travel and lodging costs.
