The Swiss national team has triggered a Nati euphoria in Switzerland with the 2-0 win against Algeria, and also gives a financial gift. The Swiss Football Association (SFV) receives $10 million for participating in the World Cup.
What the World Cup costs the Swiss association
The SFV also has to spend high costs for travel and accommodation. The Nati squad consists of 65 people, each of whom spends the night in a single room.
Why only now something remains
Only when the 15 million mark is reached does the association actually secure a profit. If the Nati loses to Colombia on Tuesday, according to media spokesman Adrian Arnold, around one million will remain for projects in top-level and amateur football.
Men and women with the same bonus model
It's not just the association that's financially lucrative from now on, but also the players. Since 2022, tournaments have no longer been rewarded with point wins or individual appearances.
