FIFA president Gianni Infantino proudly hailed this summer’s inaugural edition of the expanded Club World Cup as a “big bang” moment for soccer.

Given the swollen sums on offer for teams operating in confederations with more modest budgets, the tournament could spark several increasingly one-sided universes. Auckland City’s amateurs, as an example, accrued the smallest sum yet still returned to their day jobs as barbers, advertising executives and trainee teachers with $4.6 million in the club’s coffers. That’s the equivalent of winning the OFC Champions League 61 times.

Inter Miami will also benefit from riches which multiple runs to the MLS Cup final would not have been able to match, banking $21.1 million despite the somewhat humiliating nature of their eventual exit to Paris Saint-Germain.

The prize money on offer is not quite so life-changing for some of Europe’s elite, although no one is going to sniff at an extra eight-figure sum to call upon. PSG earned around $174.5 million for winning the Champions League and amassed around two-thirds of that tally by making it to the final of this global competition.

Chelsea’s shock triumph in an unforgettable showpiece earned them $40 million alone, taking their total haul to a cool $114.6 million.

Clubs were rewarded equally for their progress in the competition, with bonuses for group-stage wins and draws as well advancing to each stage of the knockouts. However, each confederation was entitled to a different share of the ‘Participation Pillar’ which had been dolled out before the tournament got underway.

European clubs were given between $12.81–38.19 million for just turning up, with the exact value determined by a ranking based on sporting and commercial criteria.

South American teams pocketed $15.21 million at the start of the competition while clubs from North, Central America & Caribbean, Asia and Africa all earned $9.55 million. Oceania’s only representatives, Auckland City, took home $3.58 million on top of the draw bonus they banked as a reward for the stalemate with Boca Juniors.

The European sides which made it through to the semifinals naturally top the standings, although Chelsea are doing their best to spend every cent they earned on new arrivals.
