Club World Cup 2025: Record bonuses of $ 1 billion for teams!

Auckland, Neuseeland - The Club World Cup 2025, which begins on June 15, faces an unprecedented financial background. According to Laola1 , FIFA will release around $ 1 billion in pricing, which is ever for a football tournament of its kind. The event is particularly lucrative for the 32 participating teams, as $ 525 million alone are available as an incidence fee. This sum is similar and ensures that even smaller clubs can benefit from the financial means.

The structure of the prize money is clear and motivating. Each team receives $ 2 million in the group phase in the group phase, while a tie brings $ 1 million. The financial incentives are increasing with progress in the tournament: a move into the round of 16 is worth $ 7.5 million, while the quarter-final participation brings $ 13.125 million. The final participants can look forward to $ 30 million, while the overall winner receives an additional $ 10 million. This could mean for European clubs that they can win up to $ 125.8 million, the Bayern Munich is an estimated $ 30 million and Real Madrid could even take up to $ 155 million, such as em2024 reported.

distribution of premiums and distortions of competition

The inaugural remuneration differ depending on the region: South American clubs receive $ 15.21 million, while teams from Africa, Asia and North America receive $ 9.55 million. Oceanian representatives such as Auckland are supported with $ 3.58 million. This raises questions about the distortion of competition, as critics fear that the financial advantages of great European clubs, such as Real Madrid and Manchester City, could further increase the gap between big and small teams.

• Admission money: $ 525 million
• Success premiums: $ 475 million
• victory in the group phase: $ 2 million

In addition, FIFA has launched a solidarity model from which a total of $ 250 million is made available for club football worldwide. This model is intended to ensure a fairer distribution of the funds. FIFA President Gianni Infantino emphasized that FIFA will not keep any revenue from the tournament to itself, whereby all funds benefit club football, as on the website of fifa is recorded.

The upcoming World Cup 2025 could not only become a source of income for the big European clubs, but also be an important opportunity for smaller teams to improve their financial situation and to achieve international recognition.
