Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has announced a $1 million bonus for every member of the national football team following their qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The generous reward celebrates the Green Falcons’ impressive campaign, which saw them secure an early ticket to the tournament with dominant performances in the Asian qualifiers.
The Saudi Arabian Football Federation confirmed that the players will receive the bonuses immediately, hailing the gesture as a testament to the government’s continued support for sports development in the kingdom.
This marks the third consecutive World Cup appearance for Saudi Arabia, and the team will be looking to build on their historic 2022 victory over Argentina in Qatar.
