Modern.az reports that 50 million dollars has been set as the prize for the national team that will become the world champion. This is the highest amount ever given to a champion in the history of World Cups.
According to the information, a total prize fund of 655 million dollars has been allocated for this year's World Cup.
Teams that stop competing in the group stage are expected to earn 9 million dollars, and teams that reach the final are expected to earn up to 33 million dollars, depending on the result.
