Winner of FIFA Club World Cup in June to pocket Ksh 16 Billion
The winner of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will earn an approximate figure of around 125 Million USD, the world governing body announced Wednesday.
FIFA has announced a staggering $1 billion prize fund for the first 32-team Club World Cup, set for June in the U.S.
The tournament winner could earn an extraordinary amount, with prize money based on team performance and entry tier.
"The distribution model of the FIFA Club World Cup reflects the pinnacle of club football and represents the biggest-ever prize money for a football tournament comprising a seven-match group stage and playoff format with a potential payout of $125 million foreseen for the winners," said FIFA President Gianni Infantino on Wednesday.
"In addition to the prize money for the participating teams, there is an unprecedented solidarity investment programme where we have a target of an additional 250 million dollars being provided to club football across the world," he was quoted by FIFA's media team.
"This solidarity will undoubtedly provide a significant boost in our ongoing efforts in making football truly global," he was quoted by FIFA's media team.
According to Infantino, football's world governing body, will neither retain any funding for this tournament, as all revenues will be distributed to club football, nor will it touch FIFA’s reserves, which are set aside for global football development through the 211 FIFA Member Associations.
