Each country’s soccer federation will receive at least $9 million in prize money for participating in this year’s World Cup, plus another $1.5 million in tournament preparation costs.

The third-place Croatian team received a prize of 27 million US dollars. Morocco is fourth and will be paid $25 million.

Fifa’s total revenue over the past four years was $7.5 billion, the bulk of which came from broadcast and sponsorship deals, as well as ticket and hospitality sales.
