FIFA has announced plans to allocate a staggering $1 billion in prize money for the upcoming Club World Cup.

FIFA’s $1 billion prize pool for the Club World Cup will be split among all 32 participating clubs, making it the largest prize ever awarded in club soccer. The competition will follow a seven-match format, with teams from various continents battling it out for their share of the prize money. This dramatic increase in financial rewards highlights FIFA’s goal to elevate the Club World Cup to a prestigious, globally recognized tournament, attracting the top clubs and enhancing its competitive nature.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will offer a record-breaking $1 billion in prize money, marking a significant leap in the financial rewards for club football. While the exact details on how FIFA plans to fund the revamped 32-team tournament have yet to be fully disclosed, the organization has secured major sponsorship and broadcasting deals to back the competition.

In December, London-based streaming service DAZN obtained exclusive global broadcasting rights for the tournament, with a reported $1 billion contract. In the U.S., TNT Sports will broadcast 24 of the 63 matches, spotlighting clubs like Inter Miami and Paris Saint-Germain for American audiences.

FIFA has also partnered with top global brands like Coca-Cola, Bank of America, Hisense, and AB InBev, further solidifying the financial structure of the tournament. The $1 billion prize pool dwarfs that of previous FIFA World Cups, both men’s and women’s, signaling FIFA’s ambitious plans to elevate the prestige and scale of the Club World Cup.
