The FIFA Club World Cup 2025™ will offer an unprecedented $1 billion in prize money to the 32 participating clubs, with the winners set to earn up to $125 million, FIFA confirmed on Tuesday.
The revamped competition, featuring an expanded format, will also allocate a groundbreaking $250 million in solidarity funding to support club football worldwide.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino hailed the move as a landmark moment for club football, emphasizing that all revenue from the tournament will be reinvested into the game.
“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,” Infantino stated. “This solidarity will undoubtedly provide a significant boost in our ongoing efforts in making football truly global.”
The competition’s prize distribution is split into two key pillars: a $475 million sporting performance pool and a $525 million participation pool.
Teams will earn bonuses based on performance, with group-stage victories earning $2 million per win and $1 million per draw. Reaching the knockout stages brings further financial incentives, culminating in $40 million for the champions.
In addition to performance-based payouts, clubs will receive fixed participation fees depending on their continental confederation.
European clubs stand to gain between $12.81 million and $38.19 million, while teams from South America will receive $15.21 million. Clubs from North America, Asia, and Africa will each earn $9.55 million, while Oceania’s representative will get $3.58 million.
FIFA has assured that its financial reserves will remain untouched, with all tournament-generated revenue going directly to club football development.
