Teams from the UAE and Saudi Arabia will compete in the FIFA Club World Cup this summer for a chance to win a share of a $1bn prize pot.
FIFA has confirmed the distribution model for its new club competition that includes $1bn prize money for the 32 participating clubs, plus a substantial and groundbreaking global solidarity model.
Global football giants including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Juventus will take part in the FIFA Club World Cup, as well as representatives from football federations across the world, including the UAE’s Ain FC and Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia.

The winners will earn up to $125m, with $1bn of prize money going to the 32 participating clubs and a target of $250m in solidarity for club football across the world.
Critically, all revenue will be distributed to club football with FIFA’s reserves remaining untouched.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino said: “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 comprising a seven-match group stage and playoff format with a potential payout of $125m foreseen for the winners.
“In addition to the prize money for the participating teams, there is an unprecedented solidarity investment programme where we have a target of an additional $250m being provided to club football across the world.
“This solidarity will undoubtedly provide a significant boost in our ongoing efforts in making football truly global.
“Not only that, but FIFA will neither retain any funding for this tournament, as all revenues will be distributed to club football, nor will it touch FIFA’s reserves, which are set aside for global football development through the 211 FIFA Member Associations.”
The distribution model for the 2025 edition will comprise the following pillars:
- Total prize money pot: $1bn
- Sporting performance pillar: $475m
- Participation pillar: $525m
