Morocco national team receives $19 million

The Moroccan national football team has earned a significant financial reward of $19 million from the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) following their advancement to the quarterfinals of the 2026 World Cup. This achievement came after a decisive 3-0 victory over Canada in the Round of 16.

This prize money falls within FIFA's established scale for teams reaching the quarterfinal stage. Teams concluding the tournament between fifth and eighth place are allocated $19 million. The potential for further financial gain exists for the "Atlas Lions" should they continue their successful run in the tournament.

Morocco has an opportunity to increase their earnings when they face France in the upcoming quarterfinal match. A victory in this match would secure at least $27 million for reaching the semifinals. The prize money escalates further, with the third-place finisher receiving $29 million and the runner-up earning $33 million. The World Cup champions will take home a grand prize of $50 million.

In addition to performance-based rewards, FIFA allocated $1.5 million to each participating team to cover preparation costs, separate from the prize money tied to athletic performance. Furthermore, each national football association whose team qualified for the World Cup received $10.5 million from FIFA. For context, Morocco earned $25 million in the Qatar 2022 World Cup for securing fourth place.
