FIFA Announces $1 Billion Prize Fund for Expanded Club World Cup

The inaugural 32-team tournament will take place in the U.S. this summer, with all revenue reinvested into global club football.

The 2025 Club World Cup will feature 32 teams and run from June 14 to July 13 across 12 venues in 11 U.S. cities, culminating in the final at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium.
FIFA has set the total prize money for the tournament at $1 billion, making it the largest prize pool in club football history.
Revenue for the event, expected to reach $2 billion, will come from sponsorship deals and a $1 billion global broadcasting agreement with streaming service DAZN.
Participating clubs will share $575 million based on participation and $465 million based on performance, with additional solidarity payments for non-participating clubs.
The expanded tournament format has faced criticism over player welfare concerns, though FIFA has pledged to reinvest all profits into global club football development.
