The standings table is accurate. If the tie ended at this time, the Colombia selection I wouldn’t be in the World Cup this year.

In addition to the sporting and social implications that the tricolor’s absence would have in Qatar, the impact that such a situation would generate in economic matters would be transcendental. So much so that, taking into account what was received in Russia 2018, the Colombian Football Federation would not receive enough money to build two sports venues like the one inaugurated at the end of last year in Barranquilla.
money to attend
In the first place, there is the money that Colombia would stop receiving for the mere fact of qualifying for the World Cup.
According to information from the International Federation of Football Association (Fifa), for the great football event of 2022 the general budget is 1,696 million dollars.

Of that amount, more than 30% (about 440 million) will be distributed in cash prizes to the national teams.
Under this logic, and based on the values that were handled for the Russian Cup, it is expected that each team that qualifies will receive about 2.3% of the prize pool.
In that sense, if Colombia qualified for the initial phase, around 10 million dollars would enter the coffers of the Federation.
And if Colombia went through the round?
According to figures from ‘Bloomberg’, the Colombian National Team received 12 million dollars last year for reaching the round of 16.
In that sense, if access to that stage is repeated, and if the trend in the amount is maintained, about 14 million dollars could not be received.
money in domestic trade
Along with the ‘official money’, it is evident that the losses for Colombian trade would be considerable.
During the 2014 World Cup, according to ‘Portfolio’, Fenalco reported that consumer establishments received 5,000 million pesos from sales.
If the Rueda team does not qualify, this 2022, after last year Colombia closed with the highest inflation of the last five years, the economic losses will be greater.
