World Cup prize money figures revealed
First, the bad news. More teams does not automatically equate to more money for those that failed to make it out of the group stage, who will still earn $9 million.
That figure is unchanged from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and only $1 million more than teams earned for their involvement at the 2018 tournament in Russia.
However all 48 nations automatically received $2.5 million in preparation money ahead of the tournament for qualifying which is $1.5 million more than in 2022.
The newly-created, and much missed, round of 32 will see a greater wealth shared with an $11 million windfall for the likes of Germany, Netherlands and Cape Verde.
Brazil and Canada can take some comfort from their last-16 exits which will net both sides a tidy sum of $11 million - $2 million up on the same stage four years earlier.
It's a similar story for first-time quarter finalists Norway, who are set for another $2 million mark-up with minimum earnings of $19 million for reaching the last eight.
The semi-final stage sees things become a little less even-handed with the third place play-off deciding which nation earns $29 million and $27 million respectively.
Whoever loses the final itself will be able to console themselves with picking up $33 million, which is the biggest mark-up from all existing rounds at $3 million more.
As you'd expect, the biggest windfall is saved for the victors with the new world champions in line to receive a cool $50 million, $8 million more than in 2022.
The World Cup winners will also earn more than the $40 million which Chelsea received for being the first winners of FIFA's revamped Club World Cup last year.
