Kieffer Moore and Chris Mepham were selected to represent Wales in what was the country’s first World Cup since 1958.

Cherries’ two representatives at the World Cup were knocked out in the group stage, limiting the earning potential for their club.

FIFA explained the formula behind the payments in a statement: “The total amount available ($209m) is divided by the total number of days that all of the participating players spent at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 (approximately 19,080), which results in an amount of $10,950 per player per day ($209m divided by 19,080).

This amount is then multiplied by the number of days that each player spent at the final competition of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, starting from their release for the tournament and ending on the day following the last match of the player’s representative team.”

Unsurprisingly English clubs received the most payments, with 46 different teams sharing a spread of $37,713,297 – making up just shy of a quarter of the total UEFA-affiliated clubs earnt.

Cherries received the 40th highest total, the lowest in the Premier League, with Manchester City earning the most, the Cityzens awarded $4,596,445.
