Busquets closes with Rubiales to go to percentage in the World Cup

Luis Rubiales, president of the Federation (RFEF), has reached an agreement with Sergio Busquets, captain of Spain, by which the internationals will receive a percentage of what the RFEF collects from FIFA and UEFA for participating in the World Cup finals and European Championships, as they have confirmed to this newspaper federal sources of maximum solvency. The agreement will have an initial duration of four seasons and will affect the World Cups in Qatar-2022 and USA-2026 and also to the European Championship in Germany-2024 and the final Four of the Nations League next June.

According to the same sources, “The agreement is positive for both parties, since there were tournaments in which the premiums were a deficit in the accounts of the House”. They then also revealed that “In the best of cases, with the new model, the Federation will not lose money and the internationals will have bonuses similar to those of the players of the top five teams in Europe”. The German Federation (DFB), which is the reference, announced last week that its players will receive 400,000 euros per head if they win in Qatar. The Germans will win 50,000 euros for the round of 16; if they qualify for the quarterfinals they will earn 100,000 each, and if they qualify for the semifinals, 150,000. “The RFEF moves in those numbers, but instead of fixed ones, in variables, by percentages”, they confirmed to AS in Las Rozas.

The Federation understands that “Premiums have been a source of contention in recent World Cups and European Championships, with sensitive differences that were never resolved properly. Now the principle of solidarity has been chosen: everyone wins or everyone loses. Rubiales has made Busquets part of it, who later has had the support of Jordi Alba and Koke “. At the moment, the RFEF has already secured seven million euros for its participation in the final four of the Nations League next June and the players have already secured a percentage of that money.
