Chelsea's $153 Million Prize After Victory at 2025 FIFA Club World Cup

Chelsea clinched victory at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, reaping substantial financial rewards from their triumph and overall performance.

Chelsea’s triumph over Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final not only boosts the team’s reputation with its youthful lineup but also brings a significant financial reward.

Cole Palmer notably scored twice and assisted Joao Pedro’s goal, showcasing his emerging talent with the Blues.

Manager Enzo Maresca culminates his first season with two trophies, including the UEFA Europa Conference League title won previously. The new Club World Cup’s prize structure promises considerable financial benefits for participating teams, totaling $1 billion across all 32 entrants.

Chelsea secured a substantial $40 million prize from their final win, ensuring at least $30 million for their journey to the match. Over the tournament, they accumulated $76 million from earlier victories, and if they had beaten Flamengo, an additional $2 million could have been earned.
