The World Football Federation (FIFA) caused great controversy when deciding to completely change the format of the FIFA Club World Cup. Previously, the tournament only had continental championship teams and one home team participating, but FIFA has increased the number of teams to 32. This means that the number of matches will increase, and the number of players participating in the tournament will increase. There will be less time off.
Real Madrid can earn 100 million euros if they win the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup
Therefore, many football teams opposed this plan. However, the situation may change completely after the first FIFA World Cup held in the US in 2025. The reason is because of prize money. According to AS, each team participating in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup will receive 30 million euros.
Not only that, if they win the tournament, Real Madrid can receive up to 100 million euros. This team will be in the same group as Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia), Pachuca (Mexico) and RB Salzburg (Austria). If they win the group stage, Real Madrid’s prize money will increase to 35 million euros.
If they reach the semi-finals, this number will be 60 million euros, and if they reach the final, they will have 80 million euros. If they win the championship, the Spanish Royal team’s prize money will amount to about 100 million euros.
This bonus is equivalent to the amount of money Real Madrid could earn if it wins the Champions League, but the FIFA Club World Cup only takes place within a month and has far fewer “skeletal” opponents than the C1 Cup. Therefore, Real Madrid’s leadership is considering the possibility of making the FIFA Club World Cup a key goal in 2025.
According to AS, the Bernabeu team could even apply the same plan as the Spanish national team did at EURO 2024. Because the tournament takes place in many cities across the United States, Real Madrid may not choose. a fixed location as headquarters.
Instead, they will move to the next cities and find places to practice there. This plan will help the team save on travel costs, instead of having to travel two times to and fro after each match, while also reducing fatigue for the players.
