Tabakovic battles for World Cup spot: how Gladbach would benefit | OneFootball

With Bosnia and Herzegovina, Haris Tabakovic will face Italy in the playoff final on Tuesday (8:45 p.m.). That means the World Cup dream is still alive for the Gladbach player, with the summer tournament now just one win away. 

Borussia will likely be following closely as well, because participation in the World Cup could bring the striker additional revenue. As part of its so-called "Club Benefits Programme," FIFA pays money to clubs whose players take part in a World Cup. 

The payment is made per player and per day during the preparation period and the tournament. Although Tabakovic is on loan from Hoffenheim, Gladbach will still benefit as well. According to a report by 'Der Westen', FIFA distributes the money to all clubs the player was registered with in the two years leading up to the World Cup.  

That means both Gladbach and Hoffenheim could look forward to additional income. But first, Italy must be beaten.
