FIFA has given Leeds United £491,000 windfall for sending players to the 2022 World Cup.
The governing body reported that 440 clubs received payments totaling £160 million for providing players for the tournament in Qatar.
Confederations were led by UEFA, whose clubs received £121 million from the event at the end of the previous year.
Elland Road’s finances are undoubtedly tight this summer as a result of the club’s relegation to the Championship, so this news will be a huge boost for the Yorkshire team.
