I wasn’t able to access the specific website you shared directly.
However, based on standard football regulations and reporting around this topic, here is how club compensation works when players are injured on international duty:
Do clubs get compensation for international duty injuries?Yes, clubs can receive compensation through the FIFA Club Protection Programme (CPP).
How the FIFA Club Protection Programme works:Waiting Period: The insurance coverage only begins after a player has been sidelined for more than 28 consecutive days due to an injury sustained while representing their national team.
Coverage Scope: It covers injuries that occur during official matches or training sessions on the FIFA international match calendar, starting from when the player is released by the club until they return.
What is Paid: The programme compensates the club for the player’s fixed basic salary during the period of disability (after the initial 28-day threshold). It does not cover performance bonuses, appearance fees, or medical treatment expenses.
Payout Caps:
Daily cap: Up to a maximum of €20,548 per day.
Maximum per player: Capped at €7.5 million for a single injury (covering up to a maximum duration of 365 days).
Global annual fund: FIFA allocates an overall maximum budget across all clubs worldwide (roughly €80 million per year).
