Club World Cup prize money: FIFA to dole out $1 billion, exceeding $440 million purse for 2022 World Cup

The winner of this summer’s club World Cup could win no less than $ 125 million from the $ 1 billion pot of the tournament in total prize money, so that there will be a major financial incentive to participate in a competition that was not popular with many influential figures in the sport.

The FIFA disabled the prize money specifications on Wednesday and organized the $ 1 billion that has been assigned to the club World Cup in two categories – which is simply for participation on the basis of the performance of each team in the competition and prize money, although different payments are distributed on the basis of the Confederation from which each team comes. The specific figures for European teams in the second category were determined by sporting and commercial criteria, according to FIFA.

The price pass of $ 1 billion is considerably larger than the $ 440 million FIFA that is handed out on the World Cup 2022 and comes with the help of the administrative body of the Deal World Soccer broadcast that is hit with Dazn. The global agreement of the streamer to prove the tournament is reportedly worth $ 1 billion and came weeks before the sporting arm of The sovereign power fund of Saudi Arabia has reportedly invested the same amount in Dazn. Fifa said his reserves, who was almost $ 4 billion after the 2022 world cupwill be untouched for this competition.

However, the huge price pass is perhaps a necessary costs, given how unpopular the club World Cup is, especially in Europe. This tournament used to be an eight-team tournament that mainly consisted of the winners of the top club competition of each confederation, but FIFA announced in 2023 that it would expand the club World Cup to a size of 32 teams and moved to summer. The first edition of the extensive Club World Cup has been compiled in an apparently random way, with FIFA only locking locations in September and the temporary employment contract with Dazn in December.

The most striking thing, however, is that the club world cup is offended by players and coaches throughout Europe because of the planning of worries. Since a few years, many have complained that the organizers of the sport have placed too many games on the schedule, which endangers the well -being of players. Jurgen Klopp, the former Liverpool manager and the current head of Global Soccer at Red Bull, The tournament described as “useless” in JanuaryWhile England -captain Harry Kane – who will compete in the Club World Cup with Bayern Munich – also expressed concern this week.

“It is a difficult situation. There are arguments from the club’s position to generate more money, because we probably earn more money,” he said, Per athletics. “And there is also a welfare point for players where there is only so much that you can do without more injuries and more situations such as that. I don’t think the players are listened to so much, if I am completely honest, but everyone wants their play, their tournament, their price, and the players are the people who have to continue with it.”

The club World Cup 2025 takes place in the US from 14 June to 13 July, with last place in the Metlife Stadium.
