Ahead Miami kick off: FIFA Club World Cup will make football clubs become better- FIFA
The 75th FIFA Congress met in Asunción, the first time FIFA’s supreme legislative body has gathered in Paraguay, with FIFA President Gianni Infantino outlining the groundbreaking impact the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will have on football across the world.
The new FIFA Club World Cup kicks off on Saturday, 14 June in Miami and includes a prize pot of USD 1 billion for the 32 participating clubs. There is also a USD 250 million solidarity fund for non-participating clubs, which means the tournament’s legacy will be felt long after the final on Sunday, 13 July in New York New Jersey with FIFA keeping no revenue produced.
“Everything will go back into football: prize money to the clubs, and solidarity funds for club football all over the world,” said President Infantino in his speech to the Congress. “My thanks goes to everyone who has participated in this success: the confederations, associations, the leagues, the clubs, the players, the European Club Association, its chairman – everyone who shared our vision of the need for the world to have a global club competition because we have to make sure that clubs, not just national teams, but also clubs, can shine on a global stage, can invest, and can become better and bigger all over the world.”
