The winner of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States will receive $125 million in prize money, FIFA announced on Wednesday.
The tournament, set to take place from June 14 to July 13, will feature 32 participating teams competing for a share of the $1 billion prize fund.
Each team will share in the $525 million pot for participating, while a further $475 million will be distributed according to performance in the tournament.
With additional bonuses, the team that emerges victorious from the seven matches played could receive up to $125 million.
Europe will receive the lion’s share of the prize money, with each of their clubs receiving between $12.81 and $38.19 million, the exact amounts to be determined according to sporting and commercial criteria.
South American teams will each receive $15.21 million in participation bonuses, while those from North and Central America, the Caribbean, Asia and Africa will receive $9.55 million.
Auckland City, the Oceania representative, will take home $3.58 million for taking part.
“The distribution model… represents the biggest prize money ever awarded to a competition comprising a group stage and a knockout phase,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino in a press release.
“In addition to the prize money earmarked for the participating clubs, an unprecedented solidarity programme will be put in place with the aim of redistributing an additional $250 million to football around the world.”
Infantino said all proceeds from the event will be redistributed to club football.
