England are set to earn a significant sum from the World Cup, despite being knocked out in the semi-finals to Argentina. The exact amount depends on their performance in Saturday's bronze medal match against France.
Third Place Victory Payout
If the Three Lions secure third place, they will earn $29 million (£21 million) in performance-based prize money from FIFA. This represents a lucrative reward for reaching the final four of the tournament.
Fourth Place Finish Earnings
Should England suffer another defeat and finish fourth, their earnings will be slightly reduced to $27 million (£20 million). This still guarantees a substantial payout for their World Cup run.
Record Prize Pool
These figures are part of an unprecedented $871 million (£644 million) total prize pool distributed across the competition. FIFA increased this overall financial contribution by 15 percent to reflect the tournament's commercial success, according to the governing body.
England's prize money is determined by their final position, with the bronze medal match against France on Saturday deciding whether they earn $29m or $27m.
