Zurich – The winner of the First Club World Cup of 32 FIFA teams in the United States could win $ 125 million, since the details of a $ 1 billion awards were finally published.
FIFA said it allocated $ 525 million in guaranteed rates for teams that participate in the tournament from June 14 to July 13, ranging from $ 38.19 million to the best classified European team, probably Real Madrid, at $ 3.58 million for the representative of Oceania Auckland City.
Results obtain another $ 475 million in the 63 games, with $ 2 million paid by the winning groups phase games, $ 7.5 million for playing in the 16 and $ 40 million round to the team that wins the final in the Metlife Stadium near New York.
The Golden trophy has been sitting at the Oval Office of the White House this month after FIFA President Gianni Infantino, handed it to President Donald Trump.
The awards fund was delayed until a global transmission agreement was late in December with the Dazn Transmission Service, which then obtained a large investment from a sports agency backed by the State in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia was also confirmed in December by FIFA as host of the Male World Cup.
Each of the 12 European teams in the alignment of the Club World Cup will be paid at least $ 12.81 million as an entry rate. Payments will be decided by “a classification based on sports and commercial criteria,” FIFA said without providing details.
Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea also qualified by winning a 2021 to 2024 champion league title, or having results consisting of the competition during those four seasons.
The countries were limited in two tickets, unless they had three winners of the Champions League. Salzburg of Austria was classified as the final European team, despite never advancing beyond the 16 round, because the most classification clubs such as Liverpool and Barcelona were blocked by the country’s cap.
The six South American teams will obtain an entry rate of $ 15.21 million.
Teams from Africa, Asia and the Concacaf region of North America, including the Inter Miami of Lionel Messi, despite not winning the MLS Cup title last season, each will get $ 9.55 million to play.
Leon from Mexico is currently disputing its elimination of FIFA competition because it is shared with Pachuca that also qualified.
FIFA aims to pay $ 250 million to clubs around the world that they did not qualify for the tournament. It is not clear how many clubs will be paid or how much they will get.
