Last Updated:
Qatar's LOC announced the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup will have a record prize fund of more than USD 36.5 million.
Qatar's Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the 2025 FIFA Arab Cup announced on Thursday that the record prize fund will exceed USD 36.5 million.
The competition, involving senior men's national teams from the 22-member Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA) representing both Asia and Africa, is scheduled to occur from 1 to 18 December.
'This announcement further elevates the stature of the FIFA Arab Cup, a tournament we reinstated in 2021, and reflects Qatar's leading role in developing football across the region and beyond", stated Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa bin Ahmed Al-Thani, Minister of Sports and Youth and LOC Chairman.
FIFA took over the organisation from UAFA when the tournament was revived in 2021, at which time the prize fund was reported to be USD 25.5 million.
The draw will take place in Doha on Sunday, with defending champions Algeria among the favourites.

Dressing room seems like a funeral, but we can still qualify: Marquez after Hong Kong defeat
"The dressing room is like a funeral (site)," said Indian football head coach Manolo Marquez as he struggled to explain the 0-1 loss to Hong Kong here even though he remained optimistic about the team's chances of qualifying for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup. India conceded in the fifth minute of stoppage time on Tuesday, slumping to a second straight goalless outing in Asian Cup qualifiers, jeopardising their chances of qualifying for the Asian Cup. '...we are not very happy. We are sad. The dressing room is like a funeral, practically,' Marquez said when a question on the future of the team came up, insisting that it was not the time to dwell on that aspect. '...But I still think that India has possibilities to qualify,' he declared nonetheless in the post-match press conference. Ranked 26 places above their opponents in the FIFA charts, the Indians were undone by poor finishing and lack of composure in key moments. India should have taken the lead in the 35th minute when Ashique Kuruniyan misjudged the delivery and fluffed a golden chance from close range. 'The game is easy to speak. Two teams fighting and that's all. Without too many chances. I think both teams defended both with order and one action. This is football,' he said, trying hard to find the right words to explain the performance. India now have just one point from two matches in Group C. With only the group winners advancing to the 2027 AFC Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia, the task ahead would be arduous. '...we are not in a good moment. In terms of scores, it's difficult for us to score. But it's true that the team played with more order than in other games. This is true. But, unfortunately, we couldn't get any points here.' Marquez also lamented his side's inability to settle for a point. 'I repeat again, it's for me a very equal game and unfortunately for us, practically in the last action, we lost at least one point and Hong Kong have three points. I told in the dressing room, obviously we want to win. 'But sometimes the team doesn't know how to draw. And today, if you couldn't win the game before the minute 90-91, at least try to be in a position to avoid the defeat. But I feel that India is still in the fight.' Asked how India can fix their scoring woes, the coach responded with an honest reflection. 'Sometimes you never know. One day, this is not a problem of the national team, it's in clubs also. Sometimes there are four, five, six games that you don't score and suddenly you score three-four goals...' However, he steered clear of criticising individual players but conceded that at times, nerves are getting the better of them. 'I cannot say nothing negative about the players. I think that the effort was there, the attitude was there, the plan of the game was there. In some moments, I feel that we can play better with the ball and be more brave,' he said. 'But this is about the situation that the team is not winning and the players are a little nervous. In some actions that the pass is clear, we are a little nervous,' he admitted. Since taking over from Igor Stimac last year, Marquez has overseen eight matches with only one win — a 3-0 friendly victory over Maldives. India have drawn four and lost three, including both critical Asian Cup qualifiers. The team has scored just five times while conceding nine, failing to find the net in their last three outings.

FIFA tells Mohd Sporting to clear former coach's dues
Panaji: FIFA's Players' Status Chamber has instructed Mohammedan Sporting Club to clear the dues of their former coach within the next 45 days or risk transfer bans for multiple windows, besides additional disciplinary sanctions. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In its order, FIFA's chief legal and compliance officer Emilio Garcia Silvero said pursuant to Article 8 of Annexe 2 of the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players, if full payment (including all applicable interest) is not made within 45 days of notification of the decision, the respondent (club) 'shall be banned from registering any new players, either nationally or internationally, up until the due amount is paid. ' The maximum duration of the ban will be of up to three entire and consecutive registration periods. Should the dues remain unpaid, 'the matter will be placed before the FIFA Disciplinary Committee for additional sanctions.' Mohammedan Sporting have been asked to clear the outstanding remuneration pending since Dec 11 last year and pay compensation for breach of contract. Chernyshov had resigned on Jan 29 citing unpaid wages. 'A professional, I cannot work for three months without receiving a salary,' the coach had written on his social media accounts. 'I made this decision with tears in my eyes. But all the blame for this lies with the club's management.' The FIFA order was communicated to all parties on May 30, which now leaves Mohammedan Sporting with little over a month to clear the dues. 'I hope they pay me the money because the communication is from FIFA, not from any other office,' Chernyshov told TOI over a phone call from his home in Moscow on Wednesday. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'If they don't pay, the club will have to face the consequences as new players cannot be registered.' Under Chernyshov, a former USSR and Russia defender, Mohammedan Sporting had qualified for ISL by winning the 2023-24 I-League. 'I like Indian football very much and enjoyed my time there. We did a great job with Mohammedan. I know my quality, and if there's a club which comes up with a good offer, I will come to India immediately. The ISL was a good experience; very good football, good organisation,' said Chernyshov, who spent three years at the historic club, taking them from the I-League to the (ISL). On debut in the top-tier league, the team started on a promising note but internal discords meant they ended up at the bottom. 'It was very difficult situation,' said Chernyshov. 'It all started with good salaries, good accommodation, but players were not happy that salaries were not paid and they didn't turn up for training. I had good players. We were like a family, stayed strong, but (when salaries were delayed for months) it became too much. The players told me they were sorry, that they cannot train anymore.'
