Seattle Sounders protest Club World Cup bonus structure with MLSPA support

Photograph: Nick Wagner/AP The Seattle Sounders wore shirts in the warm-up for the team's game against Minnesota United on Sunday reading 'Club World Ca$h Grab,' in protest over the manner in which bonuses from participating in the Club World Cup are being distributed. Afterwards, the MLS Players Association released a statement expressing solidarity with the Sounders players who, according to the statement 'demanded a fair share of Fifa Club World Cup prize money.' Advertisement 'Fifa's new tournament piles on to players' ever-increasing workload without regard to their physical well-being,' the statement reads, before pointing out that Fifa will pay MLS teams large amounts (about $9.5m) to participate in the tournament. 'Despite this windfall, the league has refused to allocate a fair percentage of those funds to the players themselves.' Related: LAFC stun Club América in extra time to qualify for Club World Cup In addition to the $9.5m for participating in the tournament, clubs earn more based on performance in the games, drawing from a Fifa prize pool of around $475m. However, the current collective bargaining agreement between the league and its players stipulates that players can only earn 50% of bonuses from outside tournament, capped at $1m for the entire team. In effect, that makes for an initial 90/10 split of prize money, with the ratio potentially getting worse if MLS teams advance in the competition. Advertisement The MLSPA said in its statement that the players have sought to meet with MLS to make changes to the arrangement, but that the league has 'failed to bring forward a reasonable proposal.' Fifa itself does not have any rules governing how teams distribute prize money between front office, players, and associated parties. The Club World Cup will feature three MLS teams: Inter Miami, who were nominated to the field by Fifa president Gianni Infantino, the Sounders and now Los Angeles FC, who qualified via a one-game playoff.

Sweden's Maja Stark fends off Nelly Korda to clinch US Women's Open title
The 25-year-old became the sixth Swede to win a women's major, finishing two strokes ahead of Rio Takeda and World number one Nelly Korda. Korda carded 71 on the final day, while Takeda shot 72, both ending the tournament at five-under. Mao Saigo, Hye-Jin Choi and Ruoning Yin finished the tournament tied for fourth at four under, while Hailee Cooper and Hinako Shibuno finished three under. Maja Stark is a major champion 🏆 — LPGA (@LPGA) June 1, 2025 The competition tightened as Korda, Shibuno, and Takeda birdied the par-five 14th, cutting Stark's lead to two strokes. But Shibuno narrowly missed a nine-and-a-half-foot eagle attempt and Korda came up short on her own eagle putt. Stark responded with a birdie of her own on 14, restoring her three-shot lead before finishing the round with bogeys on the final two holes. Stark entered the final round with a one-stroke lead, one stroke ahead of Julia Lopez Ramirez, who ended the day tied for 19th. 'It feels so surreal, and it felt like it was so far away just a couple of weeks ago,' she told LPGA in the aftermath of her win. 'Just last week, my confidence was so low, and then I had a special friend tell me that you need to be confident. You need to trust yourself, and that's what I try to do. I try to make myself and everyone on my team proud.' Korda's runner-up finish is her strongest showing at the US Women's Open, improving on an eighth-place tie in 2022.
