Liverpool FC NewsFeaturesLiverpool FCLiverpool will get a share of FIFA's compensation money this summer, with several of Arne Slot's stars set to represent their nations in the US, Canada and MexicoLiverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker.(Image: Heuler Andrey/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty Images)Liverpool and the rest of the clubs that send players to the World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico this summer will be given a share of a 'compensation' pot set up by FIFA.While the total sum set aside to give clubs has increased from around $209 million (£171 million) at the last World Cup to around $355 million (£299 million) for the 2026 and 2030 editions, the increased number of teams involved (up from 32 to 48) will mean that it is split across a greater number of players.FIFA says that "the compensation mechanism was designed to reward all clubs equally and transparently for the time that their registered players spend at the World Cup".READ MORE: Liverpool sent clear Alisson transfer message as Arne Slot 'perspective' requiredREAD MORE: Liverpool transfer news and rumors today LIVE: Diomande decision, Camara move, Barcola interestThe total amount of money is divided by the total number of days spent at the tournament by all the players involved. The further a national team progresses at the tournament, the more that team’s players will earn for their respective clubs.That figure is not only to compensate clubs for allowing their players to go to the World Cup, but also to 'thank' them for developing the talent and permitting them to play in the qualification games too.Content cannot be displayed without consentSo far, Liverpool stars including Alisson Becker, Wataru Endo and Ibrahima Konate have been confirmed as heading to the tournament.
England will confirm its final roster on Friday, though Curtis Jones seems likely to miss out.In addition to getting paid for players currently on a club's books, money is also distributed for stars who have been sold, but who played a part in qualification over the last two years.Luis Diaz, for instance, who was let go by Liverpool last summer, would fall into that category. Similarly, Newcastle will benefit from having had Alexander Isak before his British record transfer move to Anfield went through on deadline day.Get Liverpool's new 2026/27 home kitThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
