The tournament, to be held in the United States, will see the winners earn up to $125 million, combining performance bonuses and participation funds. The financial model includes a $475 million sporting performance pillar and a $525 million participation pillar.
Clubs will earn $2 million for each group-stage win and $1 million for a draw. Reaching the Round of 16 adds $7.5 million, quarter-finals $13.125 million, semi-finals $21 million, the final $30 million, and victory a further $40 million.
African teams will receive the same participation amount as clubs from Asia and CONCACAF. European clubs will earn between $12.81 million and $38.19 million, South American teams $15.21 million, and Oceania clubs $3.58 million.
FIFA said none of the tournament revenue will be retained, and all funds will be distributed to clubs. An additional $250 million solidarity fund will also support global club football.
