FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund can look forward to an impressive prize money. Even the Champions League can hardly keep up!
The winner of the controversial club world championship can look forward to a prize money of up to the equivalent of 115 million euros. This was announced by the FIFA World Federation Association on Wednesday. A total of one billion US dollars (926 million euros) are distributed to the 32 participating teams.
The FIFA also confirmed the solidarity services of $ 250 million in the amount of $ 250 million (231 million euros) for non-participating clubs. Germany is represented at the mega event (June 14th to July 13th) in the United States by record champions Bayern Munich and Champions League finalist Borussia Dortmund.
At the club World Cup, winning is extremely worthwhile
The entire prize money is divided almost evenly into the categories “participation in participation” and “performance participation”. According to a defined key, $ 525 million (486 million euros) are distributed to the clubs, the remaining $ 475 million (440 million euros) are paid out depending on the success.
“FIFA will not keep a means for this tournament because all revenues go to club football and the FIFA reserves that are intended for global football funding over the 211 FIFA member associations remain untasted,” said President Gianni Infantino.
There is 6.95 million euros for reaching the round of 16, another 12.16 million for the quarter -finals, the semi -finals brings another 19.45 million, the finalists receive another 27.79 million and the winner is rewarded with an additional 37.06 million in addition to the trophy. In the group phase there are 1.85 million for a win and 0.93 million for a draw.
Higher premiums than in the Champions League!
For comparison: In the Champions League, the premium for reaching the round of 16 is eleven million euros, 12.5 million euros for the quarter -finals. And more than the club World Cup. But from then on, the payments in the FIFA competition are significantly higher. In the premier class, the semi -finals brings 15 million euros, the final 18.5 million and the victory another 6.5 million.
However, it should be said: In the Champions League, the teams also receive funds about the so-called value bonus, which, depending on the club coefficient and market pool of the respective participant, can also rinse a lot of money into the coffers.
FC Bayern meets Benfica Lisbon, Boca Juniors (Argentina) and Auckland City (New Zealand) in the preliminary round. BVB first plays against Fluminense (Brazil), Ulsan HD (South Korea) and Mamelodi Sundowns FC (South Africa).
