FIFA reveals prize money for Spain, Argentina, other countries after 2026 World Cup [Full list]

Full World Cup 2026 prize money Champions (Spain): $51 million Runners-up (Argentina): $34 million Third place (England): $30 million Fourth place (France): $28 million Quarter-finalists: $20 million each Round of 16: $16 million each Round of 32: $12 million each Group stage teams: $10 million each FIFA increased the prize fund The increase in prize money follows calls from several national federations, particularly in Europe, which argued that the original payment structure would leave many associations out of pocket because of the extensive travel required during the tournament.

For example, the United States Soccer Federation retains 20% of its World Cup prize money, while the remaining 80% is shared equally between the men’s and women’s national teams under the country’s landmark equal-pay agreement.(Photo by PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA / AFP) Spain’s victory over Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final not only secured football’s biggest prize but also earned the country’s football federation a record-breaking financial reward.
