“Sport” newspaper confirmed that FIFA will grant Barcelona significant compensation for the injury of Ronald Araujo, who was with the Uruguay national team in the 2024 Copa America.
FIFA laws stipulate that clubs be compensated for their players’ injuries during international duels as long as the period of absence exceeds 28 days, and a maximum of one year.
According to the report, FIFA pays a maximum of more than 20,000 euros per day as compensation for the injured player’s absence in international matches.
Initial reports indicate that Araujo’s absence will extend from 4 to 6 weeks, and may be longer than that if his diagnosis of a tear in the posterior muscle is confirmed.
Thus, Barcelona will initially guarantee approximately 720,000 euros in compensation from FIFA for Araujo’s injury, and the amount will increase or decrease depending on the specific date of the player’s return to the stadiums.
So far, the Uruguayan star has not been diagnosed definitively, waiting for the tumor in the area of the injury to decrease so that he can undergo accurate examinations.
