Cash windfall: how much BVB get for their World Cup stars | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund also benefited financially from the World Cup. For releasing its ten international players, BVB is receiving a seven-figure sum from FIFA.

The World Cup paid off for Borussia Dortmund not only in sporting terms, but financially as well. Because BVB released a total of ten professionals for the tournament, the Bundesliga club will receive €1.54 million from FIFA’s Club Benefits Programme, according to an analysis by Deutsche Kreditbank (DKB).

That puts Dortmund in second place in the Bundesliga ranking. Only FC Bayern Munich receives more, with €2.3 million. The Munich club released a total of 17 World Cup participants. Behind BVB are Bayer Leverkusen with €1.42 million, Eintracht Frankfurt with €1.17 million, and TSG Hoffenheim with €1.05 million.

For Borussia Dortmund, Waldemar Anton, Maximilian Beier, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Felix Nmecha were part of Germany’s World Cup squad. They were joined by Ramy Bensebaini (Algeria), Gregor Kobel (Switzerland), Marcel Sabitzer (Austria), Julian Ryerson (Norway), Daniel Svensson (Sweden), and Carney Chukwuemeka. According to DKB, a total of 1,248 players took part in the World Cup in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Clubs receive FIFA compensation payments to make up for the fact that their players are unavailable to the club during the World Cup.

BVB earns handsomely from its World Cup players

The basis for this is FIFA’s Club Benefits Programme, which takes into account all release days since June 1. The amount paid out depends accordingly on how long each international player remained in the tournament. The early exit of the German national team cost BVB and FC Bayern additional income.

Because the DFB team had to head home after the group stage, the period for which the two Bundesliga clubs received compensation payments was also shortened. BVB is also among the clubs receiving the highest FIFA payments in international comparison. Manchester City leads the way with €3.08 million, followed by Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain (€2.49 million) and Arsenal FC (€2.42 million).

The Bundesliga also ranks second in the league comparison. A total of €13.29 million is going to Germany’s top-flight clubs. Only the English Premier League performs better, with €26.34 million, while Spain’s La Liga is in third place with €12.19 million.
