Do players get paid to appear with the national team? In camp? On the bench? Play? I don't recall ever seeing that in print. Just curious.
I'm not positive about friendlies or camps, but I do know that for the World Cup all the players received a substantial amount (about $200k+... it all depended on performance and I think that maybe their Top 8 trip made them about $300k or so.) I'm sure they receive a substantial stipend for their trips. Ticket, food, and room all prepaid and they probably get an extra $500 or so for living expenses.
