But there are also other $9 million awarded for playing the three group stage matches. In total, the FPF missed out on around $10.5 million guaranteed; however, the amount could have been higher if they had made it to the round of 16, as they would have been rewarded with an additional $3.5 million. Thus, if they had advanced further in the competition, the national team would have obtained more money.
It is necessary to mention that the highest amount that a team can receive by winning the World Cup is $42 million. In the case of the second place, the team receives $30 million.
