Clubs to reap big from increased prize money | FIFA Club World Cup 2025™

Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) confirmed the distribution model for its new club competition that includes USD 1 billion prize money for the 32 participating clubs.

Embedded is also a substantial and groundbreaking global solidarity model.

This is in line with the budgetary principles for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™.

USD 525 million is the total package for the participation pillar with USD 475 million reserved for sporting performance.

Africa will be represented by Denis Onyango’s Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa), Al Ahly (Egypt), ES Tunis (Tunisia) and Wydad AC (Morocco).

The first-ever 32-team FIFA Club World Cup will take place in the USA in 2025, with 12 venues across the nation chosen to host matches.

Participation:

Each club from Africa, Asia, North, Central American and Caribbean will get USD 9.55 million.

Those from South America will get USD 15.21 million whilst the European based club will pocket USD 12.81-38.19 million each.

The ones from Oceania will get USD 3.58 million each.

Sporting performance:

Each win in the group stages will cost USD 2M with USD 1M for a draw per club.

The round of 16 stage has USD 7.5M, quarter final (USD 13.125M), semi-final (USD 21M), USD 30M for the finalist whilst the winner will bag USD 40M.

The distribution model of the FIFA Club World Cup reflects the pinnacle of club football and represents the biggest-ever prize money for a football tournament comprising a seven-match group stage and playoff format with a potential payout of USD 125 million foreseen for the winners. In addition to the prize money for the participating teams, there is an unprecedented solidarity investment programme where we have a target of an additional 250 million dollars being provided to club football across the world. This solidarity will undoubtedly provide a significant boost in our ongoing efforts in making football truly global. Not only that, but FIFA will neither retain any funding for this tournament, as all revenues will be distributed to club football, nor will it touch FIFA’s reserves, which are set aside for global football development through the 211 FIFA Member Associations.

Gianni Infantino, FIFA President
