Hibernian have learned the minimum amount they stand to make from this year's World Cup – and the surprising contributors that have bumped up their monetary total. Despite the Leith club only sending one representative, Scotland veteran Grant Hanley, a change to FIFA's Club Benefits Programme will allow them to receive player fees for qualification matches for the first time. As reported by Gavin Noon, aka Scotland's Coefficient, Hibs are set to receive a significant sum, based on the accumulation of fixtures in which players registered in Leith, either permanently or on loan, were involved. In the expanded system, the Easter Road side will receive money for the involvement of 16 footballers, who were all on Hibs' books at certain points during the 2026 World Cup qualification phase. Six have now left the club, but their inclusion in international squads over the past three years will still benefit David Gray's side. Scotland's Coefficient calculates the fee per qualifier to amount to $2,362 (roughly £1,762), with Hibs therefore expected to receive a significant fee for players on their books at the time. Lewis Miller is the biggest contributor in that category. The Australian full-back made 85 appearances in green and white before departing for Blackburn Rovers in August last year. Despite suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which ruled him out of contention for the finals, Miller was heavily involved in the Socceroos' qualification route. He was involved in eleven fixtures during their campaign, which began in November 2023, during which he scored two goals and notched an assist. Nathian Moriah-Welsh, now of Mansfield Town, represented Guyana for four of their qualification games, whilst Junior Hoilett and Myziane Maolida were involved in two apiece for Canada and Comoros, respectively. Nohan Kenneh, despite spending three loan spells away from Easter Road, featured for Liberia in a 1-0 win against Sao Tome and Principe outwith those temporary spells. Hellas Verona striker Kieron Bowie was called up for four Scotland games during his 18 months at Hibs. He remains on standby for Steve Clarke, having enjoyed an impressive start to life in Serie A since leaving Edinburgh in January. Rocky Bushiri and Martin Boyle were both unfortunate to miss out on the tournament itself, with Bushiri suffering an injury and Boyle cut from Tony Popovic's final squad. However, the pair were involved in 13 and 10 qualifiers respectively, helping DR Congo and Australia book their spots. Of the other current Hibs players involved in international qualifiers, Thibault Klidje and Jordan Obita each took part in four, Jamie McGrath and Alasana Manneh in two, and Josh Mulligan and Miguel Chaiwa in one apiece. Hanley will also bank fees for his involvement in six qualifying matches. In total, Scotland's Coefficient calculates that Hibs will receive £237,500 through the FIFA Club Benefits Programme. But that number could rise should Hanley and Scotland progress to the knockout phase, which would increase his cumulative daily rate. International recognition has always been an attraction for players joining Hibs, and, under this new system, that could greatly benefit Hibs financially in the future. David Gray spoke to the importance of international football as a motivating force for players. With so many of his players in and around international duty, he believes that it is another 'carrot' in drawing players to Easter Road.
