FIFA has confirmed a historic $1 billion prize money pool for the expanded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, with the tournament winners set to earn up to $125 million.

The new distribution model, approved by the FIFA Council and supported by the European Club Association, includes a significant global solidarity fund targeting $250 million for club football development worldwide.

“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,” said FIFA President Gianni Infantino.

The prize money is divided into two main pillars:

Sporting Performance ($475 million): Clubs will earn rewards based on progression, with group stage wins worth $2 million each and the champions taking home $40 million.

Participation Allocation ($525 million): Clubs will receive funds based on their continent, with European teams earning between $12.81 million and $38.19 million, while clubs from Africa, Asia, and CONCACAF will receive $9.55 million each.

FIFA emphasized that all revenues from the tournament will be distributed to club football, without touching its reserves, which are reserved for global football development across its 211 member associations.

The expanded 32-team Club World Cup, featuring a seven-match group stage and knockout format, is set to mark a new era in global club competition.
