International press reports have confirmed that the 2025 Club World Cup will become one of the most profitable tournaments in the world of football.
The holder of the Club World Cup receives the highest amount in the world of football
The American Sports website explained that the tournament prizes in 2023 were only $16 million, but they have since swelled to $2.65 billion, making the Club World Cup one of the most profitable tournaments in world football.
The site explained that FIFA was very bold in making the prize for the defending champion $100 million because that amount would become the largest in world football, because in the 2023-2024 season, Real Madrid received only $89 million after winning every match along its way to becoming a league winner. European champions.
In comparison, recent Copa Libertadores champions Botafogo collected $31,340,000 for their Copa Libertadores victory, and that figure included $23 million for winning the final against Atlético Mineiro in what the South American Football Confederation president described as “the highest-paid match in the world.” .
FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Awards
The American Sports website also announced that each of the 32 participating teams will receive about $50 million just because of participation, and there will be additional rewards depending on the results. At the same time, the holder of the Club World Cup title will receive $100 million, and this is a far cry. Compared to the previous edition of the tournament, when the winners received $5 million, the runner-up received $4 million, with $2.5 million for third place, $2 million for fourth place, $1.5 million for fifth place, and $1 million for third place. For the sixth.
The website indicated that until that moment, the exact details of how the prize money would be allocated in 2025 had not been published, and the clubs had previously received assurances that participation revenues could reach $80 million, but this lack of clarity is consistent with a lot of ambiguity surrounding this award. The new version of the tournament, and many financial details are still unclear, as the tournament’s financing is still unclear.
