Canobbio at the World Cup? Fluminense could pocket millions | OneFootball

Agustín Canobbio’s likely call-up for the 2026 World Cup could bring extra money to Fluminense. The forward has already traveled to join the Uruguayan national team, and although the official squad list has not yet been announced, the player’s presence at the tournament is considered certain.The reason is the Club Benefits Programme, created by FIFA to compensate teams that release players to their national sides during the World Cup. The amount is calculated according to the number of days each player remains available to his country.FIFA has not yet announced the amounts for the 2026 edition. As a reference, at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the organization paid $10.9 thousand per day for each called-up player.Based on that amount, Canobbio would earn Fluminense around $283 thousand (R$ 1.4 million) if Uruguay only plays in the group stage. If the national team reaches the final, the compensation could reach $534 thousand, approximately R$ 2.6 million.
