Revealed – Inter Milan To Earn Around €1M From FIFA Club Benefits Program If Italy Qualify For 2026 World Cup | OneFootball

Inter Milan could reportedly receive a financial boost if Italy manage to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 

According to Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri would benefit from the Azzurri’s World Cup appearance.

Desperate to return to the World Cup for the first time since 2014, Italy gear up for a decisive playoff tie against Northern Ireland.

Indeed, the four-time world champions will face Michael O’Neill’s side at the New Balance Arena tomorrow night.

Despite heading into proceedings as favorites, Italy cannot afford to take anything for granted in this semi-final clash.

For context, they have failed to navigate their last two World Cup playoffs.

Inter Milan to Benefit from Italy Potential FIFA World Cup Qualification

Gennaro Gattuso will heavily rely on four Inter Milan stars in Thursday’s fixture.

Indeed, the Azzurri boss has included Alessandro Bastoni, Davide Frattesi, Federico Dimarco, Francesco Pio Esposito, and Nicolo Barella in his March squad.

Meanwhile, failure is not an option for Italy, as they bid to feature in the summer tournament in North America.

Interestingly, Italy’s qualification would pour around €1 million into Inter’s coffers.

That would be the minimum income for the San Siro giants if Gattuso sticks with all five Nerazzurri stars, courtesy of the ‘FIFA Club Benefits Program.’
