Do clubs get paid for call-ups?

Yes, clubs like Borussia Dortmund receive compensation from FIFA for releasing players for international duty. This payment helps offset the risk of injury and the disruption to their squad. The amount varies depending on the competition and the player's salary, but it's a significant financial incentive for clubs.
