🚨2025 FIFA Club World Cup: Prize Money Breakdown and Top Club Favourite to Win
The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is set to be the biggest edition yet, both in scale and financial reward. Featuring 32 of the world’s most elite football clubs, the tournament will be hosted in the United States and offers a historic prize pool. With millions at stake at each stage of the competition, clubs are gearing up not just for global glory—but also for serious financial gain.
FIFA has significantly increased the Club World Cup prize money for the 2025 tournament, making it one of the most lucrative events in world football.
Here’s a complete breakdown of the prize money by stage:
✅ Participation Bonus: €23.6 million – €35 million
🏅 Group Stage Win: €1.77 million
🤝 Group Stage Draw: €944,000
🎯 Round of 16: €6.84 million
💥 Quarter-finals: €11.92 million
🚀 Semi-finals: €19.12 million
🥈 Runner-up (Finalist): €27.38 million
🏆 Champion: €35.4 million
This tiered structure means even early success is financially valuable, and each stage unlocks bigger earnings. The club that wins it all could walk away with over €70 million in total, combining participation, wins, and the final prize.
When discussing the favourites to win the 2025 Club World Cup, Real Madrid tops the list. The Spanish giants come into the tournament as reigning UEFA Champions League winners and five-time Club World Cup champions.
Under the leadership of Carlo Ancelotti, and with a squad boasting elite talents like Vinícius Júnior, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo, Madrid is in prime form. Their experience, squad depth, and winning mentality make them the strongest contender to dominate the tournament.
While clubs like Manchester City, Bayern Munich, and Flamengo are expected to challenge, Real Madrid’s global pedigree and consistency in high-stakes matches make them the most likely to secure the title—and the €35.4 million champion’s prize.
