The group says this will remain the case even if it loses a key court action against FIFA on March 20.
The G14 is supporting Belgian club Charleroi in its quest for compensation after one of its players was injured playing for his country, Morocco.
According to Thomas Kurth, the G14 intervened on behalf of Charleroi in an attempt to change the way that international teams use clubs’ ‘major assets’ without payment or responsibility for injury.
“If the verdict goes against the clubs nothing will have changed but they will continue,” Kurth said.
“The case of Charleroi could be repeated every week.”
Kurth says that while a number of international federations, including Holland and Germany, do pay clubs for the use of their players, regulations over the release of players for international games must be reviewed.
While acknowledging that the aim is ‘not to take money from the federations’ Kurth believes that FIFA itself should pay clubs for allowing players to take part in the money-spinning World Cup.
“We don’t want to take money from federations every time but when a third party organises a tournament money should go to the clubs,” he said.
He believes that clubs should be paid according to the contribution made by their players during the World Cup.
“FIFA can pay the clubs the share of revenues they deserve based on the contribution that their players make to the 23,000-man (player) days of the World Cup. Perhaps 10 per cent could go to the clubs.”
