How much did each player in the Egyptian national team get paid in the 2026 World Cup? The number is shocking

Egypt’s national team players entered an unprecedented stage in terms of financial rewards, after the Pharaohs’ results in the 2026 World Cup ensured that each player received record sums, with the possibility of doubling them again if they continued their journey in the tournament.

The list of the team’s rewards stipulates that each player is given 150,000 pounds in the event of winning any match during the World Cup competitions. However, the list included an exceptional clause stipulating that all group stage matches should be considered as having ended in victory if the team succeeds in qualifying for the knockout rounds, giving each player a total reward of 450,000 pounds for this stage.

The Egyptian national team had started its campaign with a 1-1 draw with Belgium, before beating New Zealand 3-1, then drawing 0-0 with Iran, ending the group stage in second place with 5 points, equal with Belgium, which took the lead on goal difference.

In addition to the group stage bonus, each player received an additional 325,000 pounds after qualifying for the round of 32, bringing the total bonuses to 775,000 pounds for each player before playing the next match.

The Egyptian team continued its journey successfully after defeating Australia in the round of 32, activating the regulations for qualifying bonuses, as the bonus for crossing this stage rose to 650,000 pounds for each player, while keeping the bonus for winning matches at 150,000 pounds without change, bringing the total amount each player has received so far to 1,575,000 pounds.

According to the regulations, each player will receive a reward of one million and 350 thousand pounds for qualifying to the next round, in addition to 150 thousand pounds as a reward for winning over Argentina, a number that will be the highest in the history of the Egyptian national team’s rewards if qualification to the quarter-finals is achieved.
