The programme provides financial compensation to clubs for players injured during international duty, including temporary total disability due to injuries, heart attacks, or strokes during matches, training sessions, travel, or other events. The maximum daily compensation is €20,548, with a maximum of €7.5 million for 365 days. The total available budget is €80 million per year.
In De Jong's case, his basic salary is likely to exceed the daily compensation limit, entitling Barcelona to the maximum compensation. If the club starts the procedure on time and the application is approved by FIFA, the compensation payments will begin on July 29.
