FIFA formulated the payment of financial compensation that clubs collect whenever one of their players in their team is injured; reaches?
Whenever there is a break for national team football, the clubs tremble so as not to sustain injuries and be attacked by the ‘FIFA virus’. That makes sense, because even though playing for their national team is the best thing for football players, if these players suffer several injuries, the loser is the club that pays them their salaries.
Precisely for that reason, FIFA formulated the payment of financial compensation that clubs collect whenever one of their players is injured during an official or friendly match with their respective teams.
How much does FIFA pay each club for each injury day?
As determined by the FIFA in the Player Protection ProgramWhenever a footballer sustains an injury lasting longer than 28 days of inactivity at his club, FIFA undertakes to pay that player’s club an amount of 20,548 euros for each day the footballer is absent.
Despite this compensation, many clubs with expensive signings and very high salaries, especially PSG, Manchester City, Juventus, Real Madrid or Barcelona, would not cover the emoluments of their main stars if they were injured playing with your squads. Gavi was the last to fall prey to the FIFA virus (November 19 vs. Georgia), with the Spanish midfielder missing the entire season at Barça and the European Championship and the Olympic Games with the national team.
If the injury occurred less than 28 days ago… FIFA will not pay
Compensation is calculated based on the fixed salary each player receives and does not take into account bonuses or bonuses. FIFA will be exempt from this payment if the player’s injury forces him to be out for less than 28 days..
FIFA can pay the player’s full salary if he is injured for an entire year
The amount FIFA pays for an injury lasting longer than 28 days of absence is calculated based on the player’s fixed salary, without taking into account the variables. In addition, the maximum amount that FIFA is willing to pay for a serious injury to a club is 7.5 million euros. That is, FIFA would pay that money for the player’s 365 days of absence.
According to various media, FIFA allocates approximately 80 million euros per year to financially compensate clubs whose players have suffered an injury during an official or friendly match with their national team.
