Paris: Players from France and Brazil stand to earn the most from winning the World Cup.
The French team have been promised the equivalent of $ 220,000 per head if they win football’s most coveted prize and half that amount if they finish second.
French players are already assured of a $ 34,000 bonus for gaining a semifinal berth. Brazil has agreed to pay the team $ 166,000 if they win the final for the fifth time on Wednesday.
But the South americans first have to take care of Holland in Tuesday’s first semifinal.
The Dutch can look forward to a reward of $ 110,000 each for a final victory, while the Croatians have already been promised $ 105,000 for reaching the semifinal.
