How much Wales and England will get paid for World Cup appearance

Wales' appearance at this World Cup has been an historic one.

Having not qualified for a major tournament in decades, Wales have now been present at Euro 2016, Euro 2020 and in Qatar this year at the biggest competition of all

After disappointing results against the USA and Iran in their opening two games and a daunting clash with England to finish off their group stage, Rob Page's men may struggle to qualify for the knockout rounds of the tournament but simply being at the World Cup will rake them in a serious amount of cash.

FIFA confirmed the tournament winners will receive a record £35million this time around, a £3million increase from 2018 and a huge £27million jump from the 2006 World Cup in Germany, according to The Sun

Every team who qualified for Qatar earned £1.2million for doing so, and the tournament breakdown goes as follows:

  • Group stage - £7.5m
  • Round of 16 - £11m
  • Quarter-finals - £14m
  • Fourth place - £21m
  • Third place - £23m
  • Runners-up - £25m
  • Winners - £35m
