Barcelona could potentially receive €4.3 million if Spain reaches World Cup final

The upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup is going to be an exciting one for Barcelona fans, with a host of players representing their national teams in this coveted tournament.

But apart from the excitement of watching the Barça players perform for their country, there is also an economic incentive given by FIFA for clubs who have players representing their national teams for this World Cup.

This is part of FIFA’s reward program for clubs during the World Cup, with Barça set to receive approximately €71,000 for every player loaned out to national teams, reports Mundo Deportivo.

As far as Barcelona are concerned, they have seven players representing Spain alone. In total, they have 16 players representing their respective nations. That would mean a figure of €3 million alone just for participating in the group stages.

Barcelona may receive additional incentives if Spain, for example, with a total of seven Barça players reaches the World Cup final. They are expected to receive a bonus of as much as €1.285 million, thus taking the total amount to almost €4.3 million.

Even if Spain fail to reach the final of the competition, Barcelona are expected to receive a significant bonus, which, in turn, could help them in their bid to strengthen the squad in the upcoming January transfer window.

The seven Barça players representing the Spanish national side include Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, along with youngsters such as Ansu Fati, Gavi and Pedri. Ferran Torres and Eric Garcia are also included in the list.

Other notable Barcelona players representing the national team include Raphinha of Brazil, Memphis Depay and Frenkie de Jong of the Netherlands, and Marc-Andre ter Stegen of Germany, all of who are among the favourites to lift the coveted tournament this year.
