Cash boost thanks to the World Cup: how much HSV could get! | OneFootball

At least three HSV players will be taking part in the 2026 World Cup in just a few weeks. The tournament could therefore also pay off financially for the club.

The latest — and at the same time most surprising — call-up is Sander Tangvik. The winter signing, who has so far only been in goal once for the Rothosen, is part of Norway’s squad and will face Iraq, Senegal and France in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Alongside Tangvik, Luka Vuskovic for Croatia and Miro Muheim for Switzerland have also been called up. In addition, Nicolas Capaldo can still hope for a spot with defending champions Argentina. From HSV’s point of view, every additional participant would be worthwhile.

Because for every player released for international duty, FIFA pays compensation to the clubs. Around 11,000 US dollars per day are paid out for each international player. This calculation applies from the start of the release period until the respective team is eliminated.

HSV hoping for Muheim and Switzerland at the World Cup

Muheim in particular could bring HSV a lot of money. Since the Swiss international has been under contract at the Volkspark since 2021, the full bonus goes to the club. Even if Switzerland were to be eliminated after the group stage, HSV could still take in more than €170,000, according to the Hamburger Abendblatt. If they were to make a deep run into the knockout stage, the amount would rise significantly again.

The distribution is more complicated for Tangvik and Vuskovic. Tangvik only moved from Rosenborg BK to the Hanseatic city in winter, which is why the income will be shared. Vuskovic, meanwhile, returns to Tottenham Hotspur on July 1, meaning the tournament bonuses from that point on would go to the English club.

On the positive side: even former defender Dennis Hadzikadunic could still bring HSV some money. The basis for FIFA’s payments is the past two seasons, after all.
