World Cup winner to pocket 40 million dollars
The prize money at next year’s World Cup finals
will be increased by at least a third from that on
offer in South Africa in 2010, FIFA general
secretary Jerome Valcke said on Tuesday.

The overall prize money for the tournament will
rise to approximately $560.0 million (£341.3
million), around $140m more than the $420m
available in 2010, when $30m was on offer to the
winners.

It means the winners of next year’s tournament
in Brazil will pick up around $40m.

“There will be a large increase of at least 33
per cent if you compare (the prize money) with the
last World Cup, but this figure will be confirmed
after the finance committee meets on Wednesday,”
Valcke, speaking at a news conference at the
resort in Bahia state where the draw for the
finals will take place on Friday, told reporters.

“Also, there will be around $70 million
available to the clubs who provide players for the
teams in the World Cup, higher than last time as
well.”

Valcke said full details of the prize money would
be announced on Wednesday.

The prize money available in South Africa was 60
per cent higher than that offered for the 2006
finals in Germany.
