Millionaire Income for Racing Thanks to 2026 World Cup Call-up

Jeremy Arévalo's call-up to Ecuador for the 2026 World Cup not only boosts the footballer but also provides a significant financial benefit to Racing de Santander. The club will receive approximately $450,000 thanks to the presence of the Ecuadorian midfielder and Gustavo Puerta, within the framework of FIFA's compensation program.

Economic Benefits from the Call-up

FIFA's compensation mechanism rewards teams for releasing players to national teams, establishing a daily payment per called-up player. In this World Cup edition, a figure of $11,000 per day was set, distributed among the clubs based on each player's registration time in the last two years.

Income for Racing

In Racing's case, the majority of the income comes from Jeremy Arévalo, who will be with his national team for about 32 days, generating a total of $352,000. On the other hand, Gustavo Puerta will remain with Colombia until June 28, accumulating 35 days of call-up and generating around $385,000.

The sum of both players places the total income at around $456,500, a significant figure for Racing, especially in a context of economic control and medium-term planning.

Perspective on Increased Revenue

If Ecuador or Colombia progress in the tournament, the income could increase, as FIFA considers payment for each additional day the players remain in camp. This benefit not only has an economic impact but also strengthens the club's international projection.

In summary, the call-up to the 2026 World Cup not only represents a sporting achievement but also an opportunity for Racing de Santander to capitalize on its role in developing international talent.
