Mandatory Credit: Joe Nicholson-Imagn Images REUTERS Seattle Sounders players called for a bigger slice of the prize money for competing at the Club World Cup this month by wearing T-shirts emblazoned with "Cash Grab" and "Fair Share Now" ahead of a Major League Soccer match on Sunday. Seattle are set to earn at least $9.55 million for competing at the June 14 to July 13 tournament in the U.S., where the total prize money runs to $1 billion, but under the MLS collective bargaining agreement (CBA) the players' share is capped at $1 million per club. Seattle are one of three MLS teams that will compete in the expanded 32-team Club World Cup. Teams from North America are guaranteed almost $10 million just for participating and can earn more depending on their results. MLS did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment after Seattle players warmed up in T-shirts with the phrases "Club World Cup Ca$h Grab" and "Fair Share Now" written on them ahead of their 2-3 home defeat by Minnesota United. The MLS Players Association said in a statement on Sunday that players had "privately and respectfully invited the league to discuss bonus terms, yet MLS has failed to bring forward a reasonable proposal". It added that the league was "clinging to an out-of-date CBA provision and ignoring longstanding international standards on what players typically receive from FIFA prize money in global competitions. "It is the players who make the game possible. It is the players who are lifting MLS up on the global stage. They expect to be treated fairly and with respect." Seattle are in Group B at the Club World Cup along with Brazil's Botafogo, UEFA Champions League winners Paris St Germain and LaLiga's Atletico Madrid. They face Botafogo in their opening game on June 15. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino touts upcoming Club World Cup as start of big year for soccer in US
The FIFA Club World Cup will be the appetizer to the FIFA World Cup this summer as the best teams from around the globe will compete in the United States for the first time. Major League Soccer squads Seattle Sounders FC and Inter Milan will be among the 32 clubs competing for the trophy. The tournament begins on June 14. FIFA President Gianni Infantino said on "Fox & Friends" on Thursday that some of the world's best players will compete, including Lionel Messi, Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., Jude Bellingham and Rodri, will all be competing. "Spectacle, pure and soccer will definitely conquer America in 100 days from now," he said. The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California; MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey; Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina; Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Lumen Field in Atlanta, Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida; Camping World Stadium and Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida; Geodis Park in Nashville, Tennessee; TQL Stadium in Cincinnati and Audi Field in Washington will be the host venues. The Club World Cup will be a preview for when the best players represent the top soccer nations in the world to battle for the World Cup trophy, which will take place from June 11, 2026 to July 19, 2026, and can be seen only on FOX Sports programming. The United States, Canada and Mexico are the host countries with the championship being played at MetLife Stadium. So far, the host nations are the only countries that have clinched spots in the tournament. More will follow over the next year. The field will expand to 48 teams for the first time. Infantino had high hopes for the two major tournaments. "A quarter of the world will be there," he said of fans at the World Cup next year. "We'll have millions of people coming. And, honestly, between the Club World Cup this year and the World Cup next year, it's definitely time to take over this country when it comes to soccer."
