The Club World Cup is all set to witness a new dawn with its brand new format and as many as 32 teams going for the prize.
It will be a huge step-up from the seven-team exclusive tournament until the last edition that was hosted by Saudi Arabia in December 2023. Hence, not limited to only the winners of continental club competitions, the 32 teams will divided into eight groups of four.
With the draw slated for December 5, GOAL takes a look at the prize money FIFA has on offer for the month-long tournament.
When does the Club World Cup 2025 start?

The first of the four-year frequency tournaments will be hosted by the United States.
What is the Club World Cup 2025 prize money?
Apart from the number of participating teams, the prize money allotted for the tournament could also see an enormous rise.
While the prize fund for the Club World Cup 2025 has not yet been officially confirmed, teams are expected to receive lucrative rewards for participation.
The Club World Cup 2023 winner took home $5 million (€4.6 million) alongside a trophy, while the runners-up bagged $4 million. The third place was worth $2.5 million, $500,000 more than the fourth-placed team were entitled to. The teams who finished fifth and sixth received $1 million each, and a total of $16 million was shared between the seven clubs involved.
