The dates will cause havoc with domestic European leagues, and it was initially announced that no compensation would be paid.

However, FIFA have now confirmed that they will compensate clubs for release of their players and are willing to pay out a total of £142m.

"A total of $209 million (£142m) will be distributed among the clubs releasing players to the participating teams in the 2018 FIFA World Cup (in Russia)," FIFA said in a statement.

"The same amount has been agreed for the 22nd edition to be staged in Qatar in 2022."
