DOHA, Qatar (AP) — World Cup champions Argentina will earn US$42 million in prize money for their football federation.

France, the losing team in Sunday’s final will get US$30 million from a FIFA prize fund of $440 million.

When France won the World Cup in 2018, the country’s federation got US$38 million from FIFA’s US$400 million prize fund.

Not all the money goes to players, but they are expected to get a good chunk of it.

Every national football federation gets at least US$9 million in prize money for playing at this year’s World Cup, plus US$1.5 million for each toward costs of preparing for the tournament.
