Canadian soccer star Alphonso Davies says he will donate his World Cup earnings to charity. “Canada welcomed me and my family and gave us the opportunity for a better life... It’s a great honour to play for Canada and I want to give back.'

Just how much Davies’ take of Canada’s proceeds from the World Cup, which kicks off Nov. 21 in Qatar, will be has yet to be determined.

Of that, US$400 million was paid out as prize money, ranging from US$38 million to the winner, US$28 million to the runner-up and US$24 million to the third-place team to US$8 million to each of the teams eliminated at the group stage. Davies has quickly become the face of the Canadian team, currently ranked fourth in CONCACAF at No. 43 in the world rankings. With a record of 8-2-4, the Canadian men turned heads by topping the final round of World Cup qualifying in the region, which covers North and Central America and the Caribbean.

The young Canadian signed a contract extension with Bayern in April 2020 that will keep him at the German powerhouse for another two years through June 2025.
