FIFA Announces $1 Billion Prize Pool for 2025 Club World Cup in the U.S.

The revamped tournament will feature 32 teams, unprecedented prize money, and matches across 11 U.S. cities, with the final set for MetLife Stadium in July.

The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will distribute a record $1 billion in prize money among 32 participating teams, making it the most lucrative club soccer tournament ever.
The tournament, running from June 14 to July 13, will take place across 12 venues in 11 U.S. cities, with Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami among the competitors.
European clubs dominate the competition with 12 entries, including Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich, while South America, Asia, Africa, and North America also contribute teams.
FIFA projects $2 billion in revenue from the event, with solidarity payments allocated to non-participating clubs and FIFA pledging not to retain any profits.
The tournament has faced criticism over player welfare concerns, but FIFA President Gianni Infantino calls it the 'pinnacle of club football,' emphasizing its global solidarity impact.
