The money Boca could earn from the 2026 FIFA World Cup | OneFootball

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will not only be the epicenter of football passion and the biggest sporting event on the planet, but it will also represent a major source of income for Boca.

Through the Club Benefits Programme promoted by FIFA, the Ribera club is preparing to receive a juicy injection of dollars for releasing its footballers to the different participating national teams. This financial mechanism from world football’s top governing body seeks to recognize clubs for their contribution to the training and development of players.

FIFA distributes the compensation by taking into account the period during which each footballer was registered with a club in the years leading up to the World Cup, meaning Boca can collect not only for players in its current squad, but also for those who have maintained recent ties with the club.

Paredes is preparing for his second World Cup.

According to projections, if footballers closely linked to the club such as Leandro Paredes, Adam Bareiro and Ángel Romero end up taking part in the tournament, Boca will earn an amount that could be around $450,000.

It is worth noting that the final amount the Xeneize will pocket will depend on the number of days these players remain in the competition; in other words, the further their national teams advance in the tournament, the greater the dividends for the club.

Boca has 4 players on Argentina’s preliminary list

Within the financial estimates, the presence of Leandro Paredes is one of the club’s strongest cards. The midfielder is already part of the official preliminary list submitted by Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni. Alongside Paredes, the preliminary squad also includes three youth academy players: Lautaro Di Lollo, Milton Delgado and Tomás Aranda.

However, although their appearance in the preliminary squad is a source of great pride for the youth divisions and gives the youngsters international exposure, all three have very little chance of making the final 26-man squad that will travel to compete in the World Cup.

Ultimately, while the national teams fine-tune the final details ahead of the World Cup, Boca are already doing the math. The participation of their international players will translate into a highly positive financial boost.
