FIFA Club World Cup prize money and exact amount all 32 clubs will earn
Chelsea, Manchester City and a number of other European big guns are ready for the controversial Club World Cup and despite criticism huge sums of money are on offer
Many players are unhappy to be competing, at least one Premier League manager has said he will not be tuning in and tickets are six times cheaper than initially advertised because fans are so unenthused.
But one thing that cannot be sniffed at in FIFA's controversial 32-team Club World Cup is the $1bn prize pot with the winners expected to pocket about £100m - roughly the same as the Champions League winners for fewer than half of the games.
And without such riches being dangled in front of them it is fair to question whether Europe's big guns would have committed in the first place.
'The distribution model of the FIFA Club World Cup reflects the pinnacle of club football and represents the biggest-ever prize money for a football tournament comprising a seven-match group stage and playoff format with a potential payout of $125m foreseen for the winners,' Gianni Infantino said in typical understated fashion when announcing the distribution model.
Here is what each team is set to earn over the coming four weeks, broken into a performance pillar of $475m (£350m) and a participation pillar of $525m (£386m).
Performance pillar
The format is the same as the real World Cup - well, until that is changed next summer - with an impressive $2m prize in every group stage game with the winner taking it all and a draw split evenly.
Reaching the round of 16 will see clubs earn an additional $7.5m, quarter-finalists will get $13.125m, the four semi-finalists pocket another $21m with the beaten finalists getting $30m and the champions earning $40m alongside a trophy with Infantino's name scratched on.
Group stage $2m (£1.47m) for a win $1m (£740,000) for draw per club
Round of 16 $7.5m (£5.5m)
Quarter-final $13.125m (£9.67m)
Semi-final $21m (£15.46m)
Finalist $30m (£22.1m)
Winner $40m (£29.46m)
Participation pillar
But even if your team has a stinker and bows out after three group stage fixtures, simply turning up will prove worthwhile.
All 32 clubs will get a base payment based on their rankings and federation with the UEFA sides on a sliding scale based upon what FIFA called 'sporting and commercial criteria.'
Europe $12.81-38.19m (£9.43m-£28.12m)
South America $15.21m (£11.2m)
North, Central America & Caribbean $9.55m (£7.03m)
Asia $9.55m (£7.03m)
Africa $9.55m (£7.03m)
Oceania $3.58m (£2.64m)
Global football
FIFA also say that the CWC will see 'an unprecedented solidarity investment programme' with 'a target of an additional $250m being provided to club football across the world ' - though exact details around how that is being distributed are unclear.
Infantino said: 'This solidarity will undoubtedly provide a significant boost in our ongoing efforts in making football truly global.'

Duke and Duchess of Sussex hire new agency in PR staff shake-up
Harry and Meghan have turned to US-based Method Communications to promote their business and philanthropic endeavours after several members of their team reportedly departed. Kyle Boulia, their Los Angeles-based deputy press secretary, and Charlie Gipson, who had been serving as the couple's European communications director, are among those who are said to have left the couple, the Mail Online reports. Meredith Maines, the chief communications officer to Harry and Meghan, is overseeing the revamp which she said will swell the ranks of the Sussex PR machine from two members of staff to 'an agency support staff of eight'. She said: 'As the duke and duchess's business and philanthropic interests grow, I have made the strategic decision to move toward a more traditional communications structure of specialist agency support, as previously reported in Forbes and PR Week several weeks ago. 'Transitioning from a team of two to an agency support staff of eight, operating across five different time zones, will give international media and stakeholders better access, and critically, faster response times to inquiries.' The couple's business portfolio include Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever, launched in April this year; their media production company, Archewell Productions; and a multi-project deal with Netflix. Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, announced they were stepping back as working members of the royal family on January 8 2020. The couple have since been at the centre of tensions with other royals, with the duke becoming estranged from his father, the King, and his brother, the Prince of Wales. In a recent television interview, Harry said he 'would love a reconciliation' with the royal family, claiming Charles will not speak to him and expressing concern that he does not know 'how much longer my father has'. In that same BBC interview, Harry complained his loss of a legal challenge over his UK security was a 'stitch-up', adding that he felt 'let down'. Harry and Meghan were told following their departure from the royal family that they would not be able to retain the full-time police protection granted to the royals. The Sussexes would instead receive a 'bespoke' security service, whereby they would be required to give 30 days' notice of any plans to travel to the UK, with each visit being assessed for threat levels and whether protection is needed. Last month, Harry lost his Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements while in the UK and said, in the TV interview following the decision, he 'can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK'. Earlier this month, the duchess posted a video of herself twerking in a bid to bring on labour while pregnant with Princess Lilibet. In the clip, a heavily pregnant Meghan is shown dancing in a hospital room to the Starrkeisha song Baby Momma, alongside the Duke of Sussex. Meghan posted on her Instagram to celebrate Lili's fourth birthday on Wednesday, writing: 'Four years ago today, this also happened. 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates … so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work – there was only one thing left to do!' The candid video, which runs for more than a minute, also features Harry, who is seen dancing in and out of the frame. The couple were also noticeably absent from the Trooping the Colour parade on Saturday. It is the third year in a row the Sussexes were not present at the event.

‘Stupid' – Josh Rock hits out at ‘disrespectful' World Cup of Darts rival's on-stage antics
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JOSH ROCK has hit out at World Cup of Darts rival Devon Petersen for his antics on stage. Rock and Northern Irish partner Daryl Gurney claimed victory over the South Africans to reach the quarter-finals of the tournament. 2 Josh Rock was not happy with the antics of Devon Petersen during their World Cup clash Credit: Getty 2 The South African star is claimed to have poured his drink on Daryl Gurney's darts case Credit: Getty Rock, 24, was not pleased with the antics of Petersen during the match. Petersen was continuously talking during the match but it was his decision to pour some of his drink over Gurney's darts case that crossed the line. Rock hit out at the act after the match as he claimed the South African was "disrespectful". He said: "Devon started talking for the bull-up and it got me fired up and then he decided to pour a bit of a drink over Daryl's case.

Gurney also slammed Petersen for his talk during the match and joked he would be a millionaire if he was paid per word. He said: "If Devon was paid for every single word, he would be an absolute millionaire because not once did he shut up. "Even in the bull pen he was at it and it annoyed him [Josh]. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS "It was the worst thing he done." Gurney did insist that he was able to block out the South African so it did not "bother" him. 'I think his tooth just fell out' - Sky Sports commentator convinced World Cup of Darts star suffered bizarre injury He added: "The only time he did not talk was whenever he was throwing, but that's Devon's game. "I told him [Rock] that because I played South Africa before and Devon did the exact same, I just blacked him out this time and it didn't bother me. "I shouldn't have messed about whenever I had those three darts at 32 and then I shouldn't have done a stupid one, a blind 180, because that's just stupid. "That's playing into Devon's hands, but at the same time, Devon loves it and he'll go back, and the first thing he'll say is 'Oh, you see what I did? I made Daryl do this'. 'But, no, glad to get the result. We're in the draw and that's the main thing that matters." The Northern Irish pair will now face neighbours Ireland in the quarter-finals of the tournament. Irish ace William O'Connor has already complained about the conditions at the World Cup of Darts. The Limerick-born thrower has insisted that it is "too hot" on the stage to get the best from the players. Elsewhere, Belgian star Dimitri van den Bergh has announced he will NOT be returning to darts full-time after his shock retirement.
