Emerging story
After the FIFA deadline for player rosters, social media users claimed Manchester City will have the most players at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The claim alleged that Manchester City will have 16 players competing.
They also claimed that the club will earn $10,000 for each day the team's players are in the World Cup.
The claim is making the rounds in Arabic across the MENA region.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misabr investigated the circulating claim and found it to be fake.
The club with the most players qualified to compete in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is Bayern Munich.
With 16 players each, Manchester City and Barcelona rank second among the clubs whose players have been invited to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Bayern Munich Is the Most World Cup-Represented Club
With 17 players, Bayern Munich will have the most players at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Barcelona and Manchester City, with 16 players each, are tied for second place among clubs with the most World Cup participants.
In the World Cup, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Atlético Madrid, and Tottenham have 11 players each.
Arab Clubs: Most World Cup-Represented
The Arab club with the most players qualified for the World Cup 2022 is currently Al Sadd of Qatar.
Al Sadd, the World Cup team with the highest percentage of non-European players, is fourth among foreign clubs with 15 players.
There are 13 players from Al Hilal Saudi Club on the Saudi national team's roster for the 2022 World Cup.
The Amount of Money Clubs Get from the FIFA
Clubs that allow their players to compete in the World Cup receive financial rewards through FIFA's Club Benefits Programme.
FIFA created the Club Benefits Program to recognize the contribution that foreign clubs made to the success of the World Cup.
The amount each World Cup participant club receives depends on the number of players and how long they stay with the squad.
FIFA calculates the time period starting two weeks before the first match and continuing through the day the player leaves the competition.
It is not necessary for a player to have a FIFA membership in order to compete in the World Cup.
As soon as he is added to the team's final roster, the organization is obligated to hand over the money to the club.
The funds are initially transferred to the local association of the club representing it, and then after the World Cup, they are transferred into the account of the club itself.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup
The claim surfaced prior to the 2022 World Cup, which is scheduled to begin on November 20.
Qatar, who is hosting the tournament, will face Ecuador in the opening game of the tournament.
