PSG and Al Ahli Book Spots at 2029 Club World Cup
PSG have secured their place at the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup after hammering Inter Milan 5-0 in the Champions League final in Munich. It's the club's first European title and a long-awaited moment for the French giants. PSG are now the second French side to win the trophy, joining Marseille who lifted it back in 1993. Under Luis Enrique, the Parisians looked unstoppable and now head into the new Club World Cup format as serious contenders. The win puts PSG on 43 points in UEFA's qualification ranking for the 2029 tournament. Inter still lead with 48, while Arsenal and Barcelona sit just behind with 41 each. Champions League winners from the next three seasons will also qualify directly. Al Ahli are the first Asian club to confirm their spot, after winning the revamped AFC Champions League Elite. In North America, Cruz Azul and Vancouver Whitecaps will battle it out for the CONCACAF slot. Before 2029, PSG will also take part in the 2025 Club World Cup in the United States. They're in a group with Atlético Madrid, Botafogo and Seattle Sounders, with matches on June 15, 20 and 23. Achraf Hakimi was one of the stars of the night. The Moroccan full-back scored the opener and ended the Champions League season with four goals and five assists. That's nine goal contributions – the most ever by a defender in a single campaign, matching Ian Harte's record from 2000. Tags: Al-Ahlichampions leaguePSG

How Much Will PSG Earn After Winning the Champions League?
PSG's long-awaited Champions League title has brought more than just silverware – it has delivered a financial windfall worth over $215m. The French club, who lifted the trophy for the first time in their history, are set to pocket around $155m from UEFA in prize money. That figure includes participation fees, results in the new league-phase format, knockout stage progression and a $27m reward for reaching and winning the final. A further $4.3m comes from qualifying for the UEFA Super Cup. Matchday revenue added another layer. PSG hosted eight home games during their run, all sold out, bringing in over $64m in ticket sales. The semi-final against Arsenal alone reportedly generated $13m. Commercially, the impact is already being felt. Shirt sales surged by 180% following the semi-final and merchandise sales are up by nearly a third compared to last year. Sponsors are also understood to have performance bonuses written into deals, triggered by the club's European success. And it may not stop there. PSG have qualified for the expanded FIFA Club World Cup in 2025, where the eventual winners are expected to earn up to $160m. After years of near misses, PSG finally have the trophy they craved. And with it, a record-breaking revenue both on and off the pitch. Tags: Achraf Hakimichampions leagueInter MilanParis Saint GermainPSG
