FIFA's upcoming Club World Cup, set for summer 2025, aims at financial success amid challenges in securing broadcast rights. Initially targeting $4 billion, FIFA faced setbacks when Apple declined to engage, leaving the tournament without sponsors. DAZN eventually agreed to purchase the rights for $1 billion, only a fraction of FIFA's hope. Nevertheless, FIFA has promised substantial rewards for participating teams, with the winner receiving $125 million and teams like Bayern Munich expected to earn a minimum of $40 million, highlighting the financial motivation for clubs amid concerns about player welfare.
Despite FIFA's initial asking price of $4 billion for streaming rights failing to attract significant interest, DAZN eventually stepped in, securing the rights for $1 billion.
The Club World Cup winner will receive $125 million, which is the largest prize money for a club tournament, amidst concerns over player workloads.
