Real Madrid is raising the stakes ahead of the first-ever expanded FIFA Club World Cup by promising each player a massive €1 million bonus if they secure the trophy.
According to a report by Spanish outlet AS, the club has identified the Club World Cup as one of its top priorities for 2025. In a bold move to incentivize performance, Real Madrid plans to offer every squad member this seven-figure reward if they emerge champions.
This comes on the heels of FIFA’s announcement that the new-format Club World Cup—set to kick off on June 14, 2025, in Miami—will offer the biggest payout in the history of club tournaments. The grand prize for the eventual champion is a staggering €140 million, making the financial stakes as high as the prestige.
The revamped Club World Cup will now take place every four years and feature 32 top-tier clubs from around the world. This edition includes global heavyweights such as Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and of course, Real Madrid.
Real Madrid is grouped in Group H alongside FC Salzburg, Al Hilal, and CF Pachuca. Their path to the final won’t be easy, but the motivation is crystal clear—history and money are both on the line.
The Club World Cup fixtures promise intense competition:
Group A: Palmeiras, Porto, Al Ahly, Inter Miami
Group B: PSG, Atletico Madrid, Botafogo, Seattle Sounders
Group C: Bayern Munich, Benfica, Boca Juniors, Auckland City
Group D: Flamengo, Chelsea, Esperance Sportive, TBD

As the tournament draws near, all eyes will be on Real Madrid—not just for their gameplay but for the extraordinary reward awaiting them.
