Unlike the Premier League, the national teams do things a little bit differently.
At the 2018 World Cup, the total prize money was $400m, with $38m going to the winners. Fifa allows individual countries to decide how much to pay their players in appearance fees, and then for the winners to decide how to divide the prize money.
The BBC estimated that the England players would be earning “just under £2,000 per squad member per match.” This is far less than their Premier League salaries.
