Spain, who won their first FIFA World Cup title at the 2010 edition in South Africa, have been promised riches abundant if they manage to repeat their feat in Russia 2018. Each member of the Spain squad will take home a win bonus of 825,000 euros ($970,200) should they lift the World Cup in Russia, a Spanish newspaper has said.
Madrid-based sports daily Marca reports that the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has incentivised the squad by offering them more than double what reigning champions Germany (350,000 euros) would give their players. They would also be entitled to more than favourites Brazil (800,000 euros). It is a significant increase on the 600,000 euros that was given to each member of Spain’s World Cup winning squad in 2010. It also represents a larger incentive than the reported 720,000 offered four years ago when they were eliminated in the group stage in Brazil.
The report continues that no members of Julen Lopetegui’s squad will receive any form of bonus should they fail to make the quarter-finals. It adds that new RFEF President Luis Rubiales has ensured that each federation employee will receive a bonus should La Roja emerge victorious on July 15.
Spain’s 23-man final squad:
David de Gea, Pepe Reina, Kepa Arrizabalaga; Dani Carvajal, Alvaro Odriozola, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos, Nacho, Cesar Azpilicueta, Jordi Alba, Nacho Monreal; Sergio Busquets, Saul Niquez, Koke, Thiago Alcantara, Andres Iniesta, David Silva; Isco, Marcio Asensio, Lucas Vazquez, Iago Aspas, Rodrigo, Diego Costa.
Fixtures:
Portugal vs Spain – 23:00, Friday 6 June.
Iran vs Spain – 23:00, Wednesday 20 June.
Spain vs Morocco – 23:00, Monday 25 June.
La Roja es una de las candidatas para ganar el Mundial de 2018. Lopetegui dio la lista el 21 de mayo. España es una de las candidatas para coronarse en Rusia. Así quedó claro cuando Lopetegui dio la lista de 23: es una plantilla de alto nivel: Aquí, un repaso nombre por nombre.
