BERLIN, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- The German Football Federation unveiled its incentive scheme for the World Cup in Brazil and each player would get a payout of 408,300 U.S. dollars if they finally win.
Team captain Philipp Lahm and the rest of the players quickly agreed to keep the same incentive scheme that was in place for last year's European Championship in Poland and Ukraine, said the German Football Federation.
The scheme only kicks in after the second round, with each player receiving 68,000 U.S. dollars for reaching the quarterfinals, 136,000 U.S. dollars for reaching the semifinals and 204,000 U.S. dollars for the final.
