Peruvian national team: the prizes and everything they won for qualifying for the repechage

Maintaining the dream of reaching Qatar 2022 is also incentivized by a large sum of money that FIFA gives to the national teams before and after the World Cup.

The last date of the South American qualifiers caused a real party in the streets around the country, as the Peruvians lived to the fullest the victory of Peru vs. Paraguay, a decisive meeting in which we exploited the rival arc with the goals of Gianluca Lapadula and Yoshimar Yotún. The performance of those led by Ricardo Gareca caused the Peruvian national team to move to the repechage zone, which allows us to continue fighting for a place to play in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the highest football event that starts in November. While the entire national territory was celebrating this new achievement, Chile and Colombia said goodbye to their world cup dream by being declassified.

The support of the fans, who play a great role before, during and after each match, is not the only prize received by Peruvian players who leave their souls in every match. From now on, the bicolor is winning economically, and if it succeeded in securing its classification, the numbers would rise radically. Here is the context of the panorama that is being experienced by the team from all over Peru.

MILLIONAIRE AWARDS

FIFA maintains a list of incentives for national teams since the first dates of the qualifying rounds begin to qualify for a World Cup. The main objective of these economic supports is to maintain the competitive and sporting level of each country. But how do they make the division between all?

According to the historical record, the prize pool has increased incredibly in recent years. This has been 80% since the World Cup in Brazil 2014. Therefore, each team gets a few million more for each stage of the tournament they participate in.

According to the Goal portal, information has been leaked that there will be about 1 billion dollars to be distributed among the participants of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, of which 436 of them will exclusively correspond to prizes, 29% more than that awarded at the World Cup in Russia. With the changes for this new edition, the list of incentives is as follows:

- 2 million dollars to qualify for the World Cup.

- 10 million dollars for playing the group stage.

- 12 million dollars for playing the round of 16.

- $18 million for playing the quarterfinals.

- 25 million dollars for the fourth place.

- 30 million dollars for the third place.

- 40 million dollars for the runner-up.

- 50 million dollars for the champion.

Why have the prizes increased? This is due to the number of participants and companies that have joined to host the World Cup.

HOW MUCH DOES THE PERUVIAN NATIONAL TEAM WIN?

It should be noted that another story is lived in Peru, since the Peruvian national team has official sponsors thanks to the commercial alliances that they have. It is for this reason that in every match we can see marks on their bottles, headphones, sneakers and uniforms. This adds up to a profit for the national team.

If we talk about each player, many of them have started a parallel activity by becoming content creators on social networks to advertise products or services. Others are chosen by companies to star in advertising campaigns, both for advertising spots, street billboards and digital publications where their images stand out.

Recall that for Russia 2018 and in the midst of the controversy over the anti-doping test against Paolo Guerrero, a bank took a risk by launching a campaign supporting the 'Predator'. Another case is that of Jefferson Farfan, which is the current image of a banking company.
