Ulsan HD in the K League 1 is known to receive $9.55 million (about 14 billion won) in prize money for participation in the FIFA Club World Cup.
FIFA unveiled the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup prize money distribution model on its official website on the 26th (Korea Standard Time).
In the FIFA Club World Cup, only seven clubs that won the championship in each continent participated. However, the World Cup has been expanded to 32 teams from this year. The organization also hosts the event every four years, just like the FIFA World Cup. The first event will be held for a month in June in the U.S.
As the program has been expanded and reorganized, the prize money is huge. The total prize money for the FIFA Club World Cup is 1 billion U.S. dollars. The team will be divided into 475 million dollars depending on the performance of the match. The participating teams will then receive 525 million dollars according to the criteria of each continent.
Only Ulsan in the K League 1 will play in this year's event as a Korean club. Ulsan has been assigned to three ports and has been assigned to Group F along with Pluminensee (Brazil, one port), Dortmund (Germany, two ports) and Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa, four ports).
Ulsan has secured $9.55 million in prize money alone. Clubs in Europe will receive a minimum of 12.8 million U.S. dollars to a maximum of 38.19 million dollars, depending on the performance and commercial standards. Clubs in South America will then receive 15.21 million dollars, while Osaynia will receive 3.58 million dollars. Clubs in Africa, North and Central America and the Caribbean will receive 9.55 million dollars, the same as those in Asia.
The prize money is also huge. The winner receives 2 million U.S. dollars every time he wins three group matches. A draw would give him 1 million dollars. The more he advances to the next round, the bigger the prize money. If Ulsan achieves its goal of advance to the round of 16, it will receive 7.5 million dollars. The team that advances to the finals will receive up to 125 million dollars. 안전놀이터
