Wydad Casablanca received $1,405,305, while Raja received $31,938 for their players’ participation in the Qatar World Cup, according to a FIFA report published on Thursday, July 13th.

FIFA distributes prize money to clubs for their players’ participation in the World Cup.

“The total amount available (USD 209m) is divided by the total number of days that all of the participating players spent at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 (approximately 19,080), which results in an amount of USD 10,950 per player per day,” FIFA stated in the  press release.

Three players from Wydad, Ahmed Reda Tagnaouti, Yahya Jabrane, and Yahya Attiat-Allah, participated with the Moroccan national team at the World Cup. Additionally, Achraf Dari, who left Wydad for French club Brest last summer, was also involved.

The amount received by Raja is attributed to the participation of Badr Benoun, who had previously left the team to join Al Ahly in November 2020.
