The Club World Cup, which will be played between June 14 and July 13, will have "unprecedented" prizes, according to FIFA in a statement following the approval in its Council of the final figure, which would be around 1 billion dollars and includes a provision for a solidarity mechanism dedicated to clubs worldwide that do not participate in the tournament.
This figure arises from the sale of television rights to the DAZN platform and more money will be added thanks to sponsors, some specific to the tournament and others historical that have joined FIFA for years, to ticket sales and marketing.
"The FIFA Club World Cup will not only be the pinnacle of club football but also a vivid demonstration of solidarity that will benefit clubs in general on a scale that no other competition has ever achieved," highlighted Gianni Infantino, president of the federation.
Of the 1 billion dollars, 575 will be based on participation and the other 465 on results in the tournament. This means that just for their presence, River and Boca could receive between 15 and 18 million, a figure far from the 50 million mentioned initially. The figure could rise to 25 million if they surpass the group stage and reach the round of 16.
