Club World Cup Prize Money Revealed
06 February, 2021
After Pitso Mosimane and Al Ahly setup a FIFA Club Globe Cup semi-final with Bayern Munich, here is how very much the African champions could earn if indeed they win the tournament.
With the Club of the Century beating hosts Al Duhail 1-0 on Thursday evening, they'll now face 2019/20 UEFA Champions League winners Bayern in the semi-finals on Monday.
It will likely be a hardcore task, but if Al Ahly defeat the Bavarians, they might become only the third African side to have reached the final of the tournament - up to now, only TP Mazembe (2010) and Raja Golf club Athletic (2013) were able to get their semi-finals even though both finished up losing within their finals.
As a result, no African workforce has lifted the trophy to day, but Mosimane and Al Ahly will attempt to end up being the first CAF part to win your competition.
If they're successful in doing this, they will be set for a good payday as the winner of the tournament is defined to receive $10 million (R150 million) in prize money, according to FIFA.
The runners-up will pocket $4 million (R60 million), while finishing in third position will earn the respective side $2.5 million (R37 million). Fourth place may be the minimum consequence Al Ahly and "Jingles" will achieve, indicating they have already guaranteed themselves $2 million (R30 million).
Meanwhile, the fifth-placed team are certain to get $1.5 million (R22 million), and the sixth-located side will earn $1 million (R15 million).
