Meager financial reward for the protagonists of this world Cup. According to BasketNews journalist, Lukas Malinauskasthe 32 national selections competing in the competition will share a cake of 3.2 million euros.
In detail, each training will receive a base of 50,000 euros. But the Top 16 teams will be better equipped than the others, with a bonus of 100,000 euros for each. By finishing in a modest 17th place, the French team will therefore not receive this sum of 150,000 euros.
Only teams qualified in the second round of the competition (Georgia, Greece, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Montenegro, Australia, Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Canada, United States, Serbia and Germany) will be entitled to this financial extension.
Reduced to the number of players present per squad, this therefore amounts to 12,500 euros per head. And even less when we take into account the staff members of each formation.
