The winner of the Club World Cup this summer could win up to $ 125 million from the boat of $ 1 billion of the tournament in total money awards, which guarantees that there is an important financial incentive to participate in a competition that has been unpopular with many influential figures in the sport.
The FIFA broken down the details of the money from the award on Wednesday, organizing the $ 1 billion assigned to the Club World Cup in two categories: those that are based on the performance of each team in the competition and the money of the award simply for participating, although different payments based on the confederation of each team will be distributed. The specific figures for European teams in the second category were determined by sports and commercial criteria, according to FIFA.

The $ 1 billion awards bag is significantly greater than the FIFA of $ 440 million delivered in the 2022 World Cup and comes with the help of the Broadcast governing body of the World Soccer hit with Dazn. According to the reports, the overall streamer agreement to show that the tournament is worth $ 1 billion and occurred weeks before the sports arm of the Sovereign Fund of the Saudi Arabia, according to the reports, invested the same amount of money in Dazn. FIFA said its reservations, which stayed at almost $ 4 billion after the 2022 World Cup, will not be touched for this competition.
However, the great awards are perhaps a necessary expense considering how unpopular is the Club World Cup, especially in Europe. This tournament used to be a tournament of eight teams composed mainly of the winners of the competition of the best clubs of each Confederation, but FIFA announced in 2023 that it would expand the Club World Cup to a format of 32 teams and moved to the summer. The first edition of the Expanded Club World Cup has gathered in an apparently casual way, with FIFA only locked in places in September and the Dazn Transmission Agreement in December.
However, the most notable, the Club World Cup has been defamed by players and coaches throughout Europe for programming concerns. For several years, many have complained that sports organizers have put too many games on the calendar, endangering the well -being of the players. Jurgen Klopp, former Liverpool manager and current world football head in Red Bull, described the tournament as “useless” in January, while England captain Harry Kane, who will compete in the Club World Cup with Bayern Munich, also expressed concerns this week.
“It is a difficult situation. There are arguments from the point of view of clubs, to generate more money, because we probably earn more money,” he said, according to Atlético. “And there is also a point of well -being of players in which there is only so much that can do without more injuries and more situations like that. I do not think the players are heard so much, if I am totally honest, but everyone wants their piece, their tournament, their prize and the players are the people who have to continue with it.”
The 2025 Club World Cup will take place in the United States from June 14 to July 13, and the final takes place at the Metlife Stadium.
