The first post of the burrs press release
This summer, wealthy families only work overtime and do not have holidays.
In the early morning of June 15, the new version of the Club World Cup, which was upgraded to 32 teams, will officially start. The highest event of the FIFA club, which has attracted various intercontinental champions and top foreign war points in various continents in the past four years, will be launched in the United States, one of the host countries of the World Cup next year. The huge prize of 1 billion US dollars, and the numerous superstars, the past useless competitions, will turn into a phoenix.
Being famous is more beneficial. The Club World Cup once again proves that “money ability” can really do whatever you want. For Chinese fans who have neither Chinese Super League teams nor watch the game are friendly, what do you think of this Club World Cup?
Seeing new players, and even old faces
When you say no, you are very honest, in one year, the extreme pull between the Club World Cup and the giants, the reversal is always unpredictable.
Just last year, the old money and upstarts, led by Real Madrid and Manchester City, looked disgusted when it comes to the Club World Cup. Ancelotti, who has always been cautious, publicly stated on behalf of Florentino that he “don’t want to play in the Club World Cup”; while Guardiola and Rodri criticized FIFA’s greed and accused the players of having no rest for odd years. Before he finished speaking, Rodri, who had been “easy” by Manchester City after the European Cup, was still subjected to a cruciate ligament tear and was reimbursed for the season, which was really true.
However, the more disgusted I was last year, the more fascinated I was this year. On Friday, many Club World Cup participating teams announced their rosters, and the two teams are the most active and new teams that expand the team for the Club World Cup.
On the side of Real Madrid, Alonso, who was originally planning to enjoy the holiday and then take office, arrived early. When the team had only 10 people participating in the training session, the first training class had a lot of exercise. Arnold and Heysen, who were originally not officially joined until the end of June, were both in place in advance, and the former even changed their jersey numbers and official titles. In addition to new players, the veteran Modric, whose contract had expired, worked overtime for the Nth time in his work, and only went to Milan to report after the Club World Cup.
Manchester City’s signings focus on stability, accuracy and ruthlessness. Seeing Wilz’s distracted heartHorse, Blue Moon simply turned the whole into small pieces, and used a budget similar to the German bid (150 million euros) to get three new players, Reindez, Ait Nuri and Serky, and all three teams were strengthened. With De Bruyne’s green light on Naples, the team’s “Baisuishan” midfielder, which has been criticized for a long time, is about to become a thing of the past.
Recruiting for the Club World Cup is a joint operation of the wealthy participating in this early summer. In addition to the new Champions League champion Paris Saint-Germain and the first team members overflowing, the two teams insisted on “the most team”. Inter Milan, who was financially nervous, gritted their teeth and introduced Sucic and Luis Enrique. Bayern finalized Jonado Ta and Bischov early, not to mention the “rich team” Riyadh Crescent finalized Inzaghi as the team’s new coach before the Champions League final. The countdown to the first game of the Club World Cup, the Saudis still held the checkbook in one hand, while waiting for big brands such as B Fee, Dzekelish, Osmeen and Kant to reply. Even among other seemingly inconspicuous teams in Asia and Africa, you can see veterans such as Patricio and Amrabat who have signed short contracts in the Club World Cup. No one wants to leave behind in the club’s highest competition.
Compared with those new faces in the New World Club Cup, this year’s Club World Cup focuses on a “feeling killing”.
Although Ronaldo rejected the invitation from Riyadh Crescent, Casablanca Vidade and even Fruminense and was sure not to appear in the Club World Cup, Miami International, led by Messi, will also witness the three “Barcelona U40s”, Suarez, Busquets and Alba. This may be the main force of the European champion team 10 years ago, and the last time he competed in the Club World Cup in his career.
There are many similar “feeling kills”: in Los Angeles FC, fans can see the French team’s “Xuanming two elders” Giroud and Lori; in Boca youth, 38-year-old Cavani is still as thin as a gram of fat; in Monterrey, Ramos, who is troubled by injuries, may still be difficult to play, but he will always be the leader of the atmosphere group.
Looking at the star lineup only, the luxury of the Club World Cup is not even inferior to the World Cup. It is super giants, newcomers, and veterans, and the main focus is on a large scale and full range.
Look at the bonus, and more on the distribution
After experiencing a total of more than 60 marathons for the club and national team, EuropeanWhy do the sects still have to fly across the Atlantic Ocean in a bitter way to fight for a junkie cup competition in previous years?
Nothing else, I have enough FIFA money. The total prize money for this Club World Cup is as high as US$1 billion, including a fixed prize of US$525 million and a competition prize of US$475 million. In comparison, the 2022 Qatar World Cup, the total prize money is “only” US$440 million, less than half of today.
The same team 32 participates, they also have to play one game in 4 days, and they also need 7 games to win the championship. They are also core events under FIFA. So, why not choose the one who gets more money? FIFA Chairman Infantino was also very proud: “The bonus distribution model of this year’s Club World Cup reflects the peak level of club football, which is the largest prize pool in the history of the competition-based football competition.”
The big scales share the gold, and the people see it. The bonus distribution of this year’s Club World Cup is still “even-splied”: According to the ranking of factors such as sports performance and business impact, 32 clubs will receive fixed prizes of different amounts. The prize money for each club in Europe ranges from US$12.81 million to US$38.19 million, the prize money for each club in South America is US$15.21 million, the prize money for each club in North, Central and American, Caribbean, Asia and Africa is US$9.55 million, and the prize money for each club in Oceania is US$3.58 million.
In terms of game results and bonuses, each team will receive $2 million for each game win in the group stage, and a draw will receive $1 million. For each round of the knockout round, the team’s performance bonus will increase by a cumulative increase, up to $40 million in winning the championship. Even clubs on various continents that failed to participate will share a “unity bonus” of 250 million euros.
According to the distribution principle, a top European club has a theoretical total bonus income of US$125 million after winning the 2025 Club World Cup.
Authentic, rich people such as Manchester City, Paris and Riyadh Crescent may not look down on the prize pool, but considering that most Asian and African teams participate in the annual budgets are only 10 million to 20 million US dollars, and participating in the competition is to make a fortune.
But just like the bonus distribution problem that will occur in previous World Cups, how much of the “windowed fortune” in the Club World Cup can be put into the players’ pockets depends entirely on the club’s conscience. The game has not started yet, and labor disputes have been staged happily: Seattle Bayer players have recently put on T-shirts with the words “Club World Cup” and “grab money” in training to protest against unfair distribution.
In accordance with the “collective negotiation agreement” passed by the Major League in 2021, players “participate in compulsory and non-strongThe maximum compensation for a game system is $1 million, while the basic bonus that the Club World Cup will be distributed to the Central and North American teams is $9.55 million. In other words, if the previous agreement is followed, the Gulfers players can only share at most less than 1/9 of the team’s prize, and the same generous “winning prize” and “promotion prize” will not be related to them. The club eats meat and the players can’t even chew bones. Who would be willing to change?
Sarcastic comics from the American media.
Side the distribution issue, it is worth quarrel whether the sky-sized prize pool promised by FIFA is worth quarrel. At least in terms of ticket sales, the appeal of the Club World Cup is obviously not that mysterious.
Although the countdown has entered the first game, the first game of the Club World Cup, scheduled to be held on June 14 local time, has sold less than 20,000 tickets, and the Hard Rock Stadium has as many as 65,000 seats. This is still the case of Miami International where Messi is located.
What’s worse sales are the ticket price. At first, the official price was as high as $349, but by February this year, it had been half a discount, and now it is a “150% off” for $55 per ticket. However, FIFA, which is worried about large-scale empty space, finally chose to “smear” and sold to Miami-Dade College student group tickets. One ticket can be purchased for $20 and you can get 4 free tickets, with an average price of only $4, which means that you can watch Messi play football on the spot by spending less than 30 yuan.
Which one is the background color of the Club World Cup?

Watch the controversy, you might as well watch the excitement
From the Intercontinental Cup, the predecessor of the Club World Cup (the more well-known event name is “Toyota Cup”), European and American champions fought against each other, and decided to win and lose, to the old Club World Cup, which gathered champions of six continents and played for half a month, until the current scale competes with the World Cup and continues to “become fat” in the Club World Cup, it is naturally controversial.
Of the 12 European teams participating in this year, 11 are considered familiar to fans, but Red Bull Salzburg is an alien. In 2024, when the participating seats were confirmed, this star factory, which is known for cultivating demons, UEFA clubs ranked 18th, and their best foreign battle performance in recent years is notThe 2018 Europa League semi-finals should not be selected for the most reasonable and reasonable.
However, with the four major leagues in England, Spain, Germany and Italy all participating in the full amount, Barcelona and Liverpool, which ranked high, were ruthlessly blocked from the goal, “postponed” all the way, achieving the alternative overtaking of the Red Bull series. It is highly likely that the first round of the tour will be absent, and the new La Liga and Premier League champions will be absent together, which is obviously a bit regretful.
There are also “instructed” to Miami International. They performed poorly in foreign battles, except for the host status, the only one who can stand out is the regular season champion of the major league last season, but compared to other participating teams, this championship title is about no. FIFA’s “supported match” is playing Messi’s emotional card.
Not to mention that in the qualification review of Club World Cup participation, a pair of powerful men from Mexico, Pachuca and Leon also made a big own. The two teams are both under the Pachuca Group of Mexico. When the investors are still unexplained, FIFA can only cancel Leon’s qualification, and Los Angeles FC and Mexico America will play another playoff game to determine the vacant quota.
Of course, earlier, led by La Liga President Tevas, La Liga, the European Union of the International Professional Players Association and the European League organizations sued FIFA in the European Court of Justice, accusing FIFA of abusing its dominance in the schedule, resulting in too dense schedules. Although the lawsuit was finally left unresolved, it is obvious that UEFA, which was divided into pieces, and the professional leagues of various countries, have never changed their resistance to the Club World Cup.
Putting aside these controversies that are destined to be like a shadow, what are Chinese fans looking at the Club World Cup?
In addition to supporting your favorite teams and stars, the most important significance is obviously to be the “exercise” for the US-Canada-Metallion World Cup next year.
In view of the ratings of Europe, the European giants of this Club World Cup are still in the midnight and early morning hours that most fans are used to, but a considerable number of games are concentrated in 6:00 a.m. and other periods, which is basically consistent with the “core period” of next year’s World Cup; the scale of 4 games a day is also the World Cup level.
After the first winter start of the Qatar World Cup, Chinese fans who have welcomed the World Cup cycle again after “only” three and a half years have used the Club World Cup to “warm up” with the intensity.
