Each Concacaf club secured $9.5 million just for participating, but sports achievements increased the figure.
Monterrey stood out in the tournament and accumulated a larger prize than Pachuca.
Rayados obtained two draws, one win, and advanced to the Round of 16, adding $21.05 million. This placed them in 18th place in the ranking of highest earnings in the tournament.
In contrast, Pachuca did not manage to score points during the tournament and was one of the worst classified. Los Tuzos returned to Mexico with only the $9.55 million from the base prize.

La Fiera eyeing 'Toro' Fernández in the transfer market
León has not had the transfer market they expected to strengthen themselves for the 2025 Opening and are still looking to cover several key positions. One of their priorities is to find a striker, and everything indicates that they could turn to Cruz Azul to resolve that need. According to recent reports, the management of both clubs are in talks for Gabriel "Toro" Fernández to join the emerald team. The Uruguayan attacker is not in Nico Larcamón's plans, so Cruz Azul is looking to give him an exit to free up foreigner spots and advance in the signing of Luka Jovic. La Fiera is facing complications in forming their squad and needs to close incorporations urgently. According to journalist Ezequiel Gasca, there is a concrete interest in Fernández and the operation could be carried out as a definitive transfer, although no figures have been revealed and there is no formal offer on the table. Gabriel Fernández, 31, has played 35 games with Cruz Azul, scoring 9 goals and 2 assists. His market value, according to Transfermarkt, is around $2 million, and the next few hours could be decisive in defining his future.

Venezuelan Youth Baseball Team, Denied Visas, Is Left Out of Tournament in U.S.
After a team of talented teenage baseball players from Venezuela swept through a qualifying tournament in Mexico last month, it seemed they were bound for the Senior League World Series in the United States, ready to take on some of the world's best youth ball clubs. But when the championship round begins in Easley, S.C., on Saturday, the undefeated squad from Venezuela will not be there. The team, Cacique Mara, has been denied the visas necessary to attend, Little League Baseball International said Friday. A team from Mexico will take its place. The Senior League World Series invites 12 teams of players ages 13 to 16 — older than those in the higher-profile Little League World Series, which is for ages 10 to 12 and is a staple of ESPN's daytime summer programming. Cacique Mara said it learned a week ago that the visas had been denied. Its players, raised in one of the world's most unstable countries, are demoralized, the team's president said. The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment Friday evening, but it appeared that Cacique Mara had been swept up in the severe travel restrictions that President Trump has placed on more than a dozen countries. The administration allows exceptions for athletes and coaches traveling for major athletic competitions such as the World Cup and the Olympics. Cacique Mara said on social media that players and coaches from the team sat for interviews on July 14 to try to secure visas, but were denied by an immigration officer. Want all of The Times?
