Players on the Polish team will receive USD 2.8 million from the total to divide up between themselves, PAP reported.

Poland received EUR 8 million for making it through to the Euro 2016 championships last year, PAP said.

It added that the Polish football association (PZPN) garnered additional payouts: EUR 1 million for winning a match in the European championships, EUR 500,000 for a draw and EUR 2.5 million for playing in the quarter-finals.

Poland secured a spot at the World Cup in Russia after defeating Montenegro 4-2 in their last qualifying match in Warsaw on Sunday.

Poland's next games are friendlies against Uruguay in Warsaw on November 10 and against Mexico in Gdańsk, northern Poland, on November 13.
