FIFA reveals how much Inter Miami and Seattle Sounders can win with the Club World Cup

In an official announcement made by FIFA on Wednesday, Inter Miami and Seattle Sounders (MLS representatives) learned that they could earn nearly $100 million as part of the $1 billion distribution model. Concacaf teams are guaranteed $9.55 million for participating, with the figure rising to $87.625 million if they win all three Group Stage games.

However, what is striking is the total value of $97.175 million of potential winnings. Finally, should Inter Miami or Seattle Sounders lose the final, they would still be entitled to $87.175 million. These amounts would be fundamental to changing the level of the two clubs, placing them in much higher realities against the giants of European soccer.

Gianni Infantino's statement on the rewards

"“The distribution model of the FIFA Club World Cup reflects the pinnacle of club football and represents the biggest-ever prize money for a football tournament, comprising a seven-match group stage and playoff format with a potential payout of USD 125 million foreseen for the winners.“In addition to the prize money for the participating teams, there is an unprecedented solidarity investment programme where we have a target of an additional 250 million dollars being provided to club football across the world. This solidarity will undoubtedly provide a significant boost in our ongoing efforts in making football truly global."Gianni Infantino
