• Players of the Die Mannschaft (German national team) will take home a whopping €400,000 each for winning the World Cup which will be staged in Qatar later this year
• Qualifying from the group stage at this year's World Cup will earn each player €50,000 while a spot in the quarterfinals will net them €100,000 each
• A semi-final berth is worth €150,000 each while finishing in third place would earn Germany’s players €200,000 each. Losing in the final would be rewarded with a €250,000 bonus

Players of the German national team will pocket a staggering €400,000 for winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup as revealed by the German Football Association (DFB).

The near half a million bonus was reached following a successful negotiation between the leadership of DFB and the team's representatives comprised of Manuel Neuer, Thomas Mueller, Joshua Kimmich and Ilkay Guendogan.

The bonus for the title win is up from €350,000 for the last edition in 2018. Following Germany's triumph at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the players received bonuses of €300,000 each.

Germany, one of the favourites tipped to win this year's Mundial, are desperate to make amends for their dismal performance at the 2018 World Cup, where the four-time champions exited at the group stages.

Die Mannschaft have been drawn in Group E for this year's Mundial along with one-time winners Spain, 2014 World Cup surprise package Costa Rica and Asian powerhouse Japan.

“We had intense discussions in a good and constructive atmosphere,” said DFB President Bernd Neuendorf following a meeting with team representatives Manuel Neuer, Thomas Mueller, Joshua Kimmich and Ilkay Guendogan.
