FIFA have published a report on how much each club earnt from the 2022 FIFA World Cup, with Liverpool ranking fifth from all English sides.

The football governing body published a report today detailing every penny each club from around the world made as a result of last winter’s competition in Qatar, with Liverpool coming away with $2.4m (£1.8m), more than Premier League rivals Arsenal as well as the likes of Everton, Brighton & Hove Albion and Aston Villa.

Topping the list for English sides is, perhaps no surprise to anyone, Manchester City, who in fact earnt the most out of any club in the world with an impressive $4.5m (£3.4m), with FIFA determining how much each team will receive by how many days an employed player spent at the competition at a base rate of nearly $11,000 (£8.4k).

With Ibrahima Konate making it to the final with France and the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Jordan Henderson and Alisson Becker crashing out at the quarter-final stage, Liverpool were quite represented at the World Cup that ultimately saw Argentina lift the biggest prize in football.

Indeed, Liverpool’s financial takings might be small in the grand scheme of things, but £1.8m for players participating in the competition is still quite the achievement for the Reds, who in 2026 will hope to have a name or two lift the trophy themselves.

Liverpool should be proud of World Cup takings

Playing at a World Cup for many players is the greatest achievement one can claim in their career, and for Liverpool, the money earned from last year’s competition should be an indicator that they can be proud of how long they had a representative out there in Qatar.

Of course, Konate returning with the trophy would have been the dream scenario for some supporters. But having numerous players feature in the quarter-final is quite the achievement for Liverpool, who will be pleased with the small pay day they have now received from FIFA.
