Paris Saint-Germain is among the biggest financial beneficiaries of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Thanks to FIFA’s club compensation program, the French champions are set to receive €2.49 million.
According to Kicker, PSG will collect €2.49 million as compensation for releasing its international players to their national teams during the tournament. The amount awarded depends on both the number of players involved and how long they remained in the competition.

For PSG, the payment represents a welcome financial bonus. Although the amount is relatively modest compared to the club’s overall budget, it provides compensation for the lengthy absence of several key players who were representing their countries throughout the World Cup, allowing the Parisian side to earn nearly €3 million without directly competing in the tournament.
