2025 FIFA Club World Cup prize money: How much will each club make?

FIFA has unveiled the full prize money structure for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, announcing a historic USD 1 billion total payout to the 32 participating clubs, with tournament winners set to earn up to USD 125 million.

Approved by the FIFA Council following extensive consultations with key stakeholders, including the European Club Association; the distribution model marks the largest financial commitment in club football history for a single tournament.

“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. “A potential payout of USD 125 million is foreseen for the winners.”

In addition to direct prize money, FIFA confirmed a groundbreaking solidarity investment programme targeting an additional USD 250 million to be distributed across global club football. According to Infantino, this initiative aims to strengthen the global football ecosystem and reduce the disparity between clubs and regions.
