The 2025 Club World Cup’s revamped format will see a vast pot of prize money divvied out among its competitors, with it still possible that Chelsea will bring home the lion’s share.

The new 32-team summer tournament, the brainchild of Fifa president Gianni Infantino, has been taking place in the United States over the last four weeks, featuring clubs all over the globe.

A competition that included the likes of Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid has now been whittled down to the final two, with Premier League outfit Chelsea taking on European champions PSG in a hotly-anticipated final.

Whoever does lift the trophy will scoop up to £70m, via a combination of participation payments and performance bonuses.
