FIFA’s Club World Cup Winner to Earn Record $125M as Prize Fund

The winner of FIFA’s first 32-team Club World Cup in the United States could earn a record-breaking $125 million, as details of the tournament’s $1 billion prize fund have been officially released.

FIFA announced that $525 million in guaranteed fees has been allocated for participating teams in the June 14 to July 13 competition. The top-ranked European team—likely Real Madrid—will receive $38.19 million, while Oceania’s representative, Auckland City, will get $3.58 million.

An additional $475 million will be distributed based on results in the 63 matches, with $2 million awarded for each group-stage win, $7.5 million for reaching the round of 16, and $40 million for the tournament champion at MetLife Stadium near New York.

Each of the 12 European teams will receive at least $12.81 million in entry fees, determined by FIFA’s ranking system based on “sporting and commercial criteria.” Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea qualified either by winning a Champions League title between 2021 and 2024 or through consistent performances in the competition.

The six South American teams will each receive a $15.21 million entry fee.

The announcement of the prize fund was delayed until FIFA finalized a global broadcast deal in December with streaming service DAZN, which later secured a major investment from a Saudi Arabian state-backed sports agency. Saudi Arabia was also confirmed as the host of the men’s 2034 World Cup.
