Ugandan football clubs are among those set to receive financial support through FIFA’s newly announced solidarity payments linked to the expanded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

As part of a $1 billion prize fund for the tournament, FIFA has allocated $250 million to assist clubs that are not directly participating in the competition, ensuring a broader distribution of financial benefits across global football.

According to FUFA, the move is aimed at recognizing clubs worldwide for their contributions to football development, even if they do not feature in the 32-team tournament scheduled to take place in the United States from June 14 to July 13, 2025.

Ugandan clubs are expected to benefit from this initiative, which could provide crucial funding to support infrastructure, youth development, and other football-related programs at the local level.

Beyond financial support, FIFA has also outlined the qualification pathway for African clubs aspiring to compete in future Club World Cup editions.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has been allocated four slots in the tournament, with these spots typically awarded to the winners of the CAF Champions League over a specified period.

This means Ugandan clubs aiming for a place on the global stage must excel in continental competitions, particularly the CAF Champions League, where securing a title would be the key to qualification.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) will represent the interests of African clubs in negotiations related to the FIFA Club World Cup.

Hersi A. Said, chairman of the African Club Association (ACA) and a CAF board member, confirmed that while African clubs are currently allocated four slots in the expanded tournament, efforts will be made to secure more spots in future editions.

“To start with, we are happy with four, and we will push to get more clubs in the next editions,” Said told BBC Sport. “To be honest, we don’t have much information on TV rights or solidarity payments, but we would love the same platform to discuss this. It would be ideal if the ACA was involved in these matters.”

With FIFA committing $250 million in solidarity payments for non-participating clubs, CAF’s role in these negotiations could be crucial in determining how African teams benefit from the tournament’s financial structure.
