Before players return to their clubs for the new season, the World Cup finalists France and Croatia will compete at the finals on the 16th of July. The World Cup has also been financially beneficial for clubs who together are set to receive a total compensation sum of around 160 Million pounds through the World Cup Benefits Program of FIFA for the release of their players. The pay-outs offer compensation for the risks players face competing in the World Cup (most crucially injuries). which can result in players being out of play in the upcoming season.
We have calculated the highest profiting clubs from the compensation payouts, alongside which league is set to receive the highest sum of compensation payments during the World Cup tournament. The results are shown in the following graphic and tables:

It makes no difference whether the respective player is used during the tournament or not. Besides the latest clubs, former clubs of players also earn around two- thirds from the compensation payouts of the last two seasons.
