Whether they lose or win in the final against Argentina, the reigning world champions will earn quite a fortune.
Indeed, Fifa had announced before the start of the competition that the sum of 440 million dollars (approximately 417 million euros) would be distributed among the 32 participants in the final phase.
The bonuses were then scalable according to the course of the teams involved.
And with its arrival in the final the French team will leave Qatar either with the 42 million dollars (40 million euros) promised to the winner, or with the 30 million (28.4 million euros) promised to the finalist.
If the Blues win, it will be even more than in the 2018 title which brought in 32.5 million euros for the FFF.
The body chaired by Noël Le Graët will therefore emerge a winner from this World Cup in both cases because it had planned in its provisional budget, presented at the General Assembly in June, an elimination of the Blues in the quarter-finals.
This forecast already assured him a positive financial result at the end of the year, with 17 million dollars (16.1 million euros) given by Fifa.
How will the money be distributed among the players?
The FFF will redistribute 30% of its earnings, i.e. 12 million euros if victory or eight million euros if defeat, to its players, including potentially Karim Benzema, Didier Deschamps and the four members of the staff of the France team. .
They will therefore receive the sum of around 400,000 euros each if they lift the World Cup.
Note that in Russia, each world champion had collected 350,000 euros.
And that's not all.
The Blues will each receive a total of 22,000 euros for image rights, which had caused so much ink to flow in the spring and then in September.
This sum will be proportional to the number of matches played in this World Cup.
If there is a success in the final, they will therefore collect a total amount of 554,000. image.
A nice sum to reward the tricolor heroes.
