Les Bleus have agreed to lower the individual fee expected in the event of victory, from the current 20 thousand euros, with a compromise: no prizes until the semi-finals, then there would be an increase instead. And there is no agreement on coupons: at the moment there are two free and six paid

First the prizes, then the tickets. The climate in France is becoming tense in view of the World Cup. Les Bleus, who will face Ivory Coast in Nantes in a friendly tomorrow, are in full negotiations with the Football Federation to get more money in case of victory. And even more coupons for family and friends.

After yesterday’s conversation with federal president Diallo, captain Mbappé and his teammates agreed to lower the individual fee expected in the event of victory, from the current 20 thousand euros. A cut induced by the decrease in FIFA prize money and the increase in logistics organization costs in the United States. And which initially had not been welcomed favorably by the locker room, well aware that it contributed predominantly to the collection of sponsors thanks to its performances on the pitch and the personal value linked to belonging to the football elite. However, yesterday a compromise was reached, as the newspaper l’Equipe explains: no prizes until the semi-finals, from which they will be paid with an increase.

But then a new front opened. In fact, the Federation has awarded only two free tickets to each player, plus another six for a fee. Too few, however, for those directly interested who want to be able to invite family and friends more easily, to follow a World Cup that France is playing as favourites, considered the first place occupied in the FIFA rankings. Negotiations are set to continue before he leaves for North America on June 10.
