It depends, what did Canada do with it? 9 million prize money for playing in the 2022 world cup
The money goes to the country's soccer organizing committee (like Hockey Canada). It is used to pay for all meals, travel, etc... for the team during the world cup. Whatever is left over is then distributed as per agreements between the players and the organizing committee. Not all goes to the players, some could be used to build infrastructure in the country.
Canada's players were unpaid for a long period of time and cancelled a couple of friendlies.
