The U.S. men's team is going to the World Cup for the first time in four years, and here's how much they're going to make.
The members of the U.S. team will leave at an easier rate.
The amount of prize money depends on where the teams finish in the World Cup, with most of it going to the 32 national teams.
The U.S. women's team will get some of the money even though they are not playing in the tournament.
If the U.S. bow out after three group stage matches and $822,000 if they win it all, each men's player will get $200,000.
The US is the 20th-best chance at winning the World Cup out of 32 teams, so expect the payouts to be on the lower side.
South Korea gave each player a $15,000 bonus for making the team and will pay them about $23,000 for each win and $8,000 for each draw, according to a team spokesman. If the Korean team is able to win all of its matches, players will receive a total of $385,000 in bonuses.
If Germany makes it to the round of 16 in the World Cup, the players will get a bonus of about $52,000 per player, according to a Forbes report.
The bonus for making the team is $124,000 and the players can make as much as $688,000 if the team wins it all.
According to a report in the Sydney Morning-Herald, Australian players get a roster bonus of about $150,000 and split 50% of any further prize money.
The bonus Senegalese players earned for winning the Africa Cup of Nations will probably not be paid back. A cash prize of $87,000 and 700 square meters of land was given to each player.
The decision to award the World Cup to Qatar a decade ago was the result of bribes, according to a new book. Last week, the disgraced former head of FIFA called the decision a mistake. Critics point to the country's lack of human rights for certain groups, such ashomosexuality, which is illegal and women need permission from male guardians to drive or travel abroad. It was the most expensive World Cup of all time, costing at least $220 billion. There are thousands of migrant worker deaths linked to the construction of the tournament.
