FIFA has announced a USD 9.55 million participation fee for each of the four African teams in the first FIFA Club World Cup, set for June 14 to July 13, 2025, in the United States.
The teams—Al Ahly (Egypt), Esperance (Tunisia), Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa), and Wydad Athletic Club (Morocco)—will earn the same as clubs from AFC and CONCACAF as part of the total USD 1 billion prize money for this 32-team tournament.
FIFA has approved the prize money distribution model after talks with key stakeholders, including the European Club Association.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino stated that this tournament offers the highest-ever prize money for club football, with a significant payout for the winners. He also mentioned a solidarity investment program aimed at supporting club football worldwide.
FIFA will not keep any revenue from this tournament, ensuring all funds go to support club football and not touching its reserves for global football development.
