Mamelodi Sundowns: How much money they can still win at FIFA Club World Cup REVEALED
Mamelodi Sundowns are making big money at the FIFA Club World Cup in the USA. Mamelodi Sundowns have already made over R200 million at the FIFA Club World Cup. Interestingly, this comes after just one match – a morale-boosting 1-0 victory over Uldan in their Group F opener. Though, it must be noted that The Brazilians received over R170 million as a participation fee for qualifying for the CWC. Sundowns secured over R35 million for their victory over Uldan. Thus, bringing their total earnings for the FIFA Club World Cup to over R200 million (R170 million for participation and over R35 million for their win). However, Sundowns still have a lot to play for – in every way. The Brazilians have over R70 million up for grabs in their next two Group F encounters against Borussia Dortmund and Fluminense. This is because FIFA has allocated over R35 million per win to any of the 32 sides at the FIFA Club World Cup. Meanwhile, even a draw could see Sundowns pocket almost R18 million (R17.9 million). The reigning defending Betway Premiership champions have dominated the PSL for eight years now. Eight titles on the trot and now they are representing South Africa on the international stage. So, they will want to make the whole of SA proud with every minute they play. The further they make it, the more money they will make, the higher the player stocks will rise and the higher the club rankings and reputations will soar. En route to qualifying for the FIFA Club World Cup these Sundowns stars have become the most valuable stars in the PSL – worth more than double Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates most expensive players.

Mamelodi Sundowns: MILLIONS! How much they made for FIFA Club World Cup win REVEALED
Mamelodi Sundowns kicked off their FIFA Club World Cup with a win over 1-0 win over Uldan. Mamelodi Sundowns got their FIFA Club World Cup campaign to the perfect start after securing a 1-0 victory in their Group F opener against Uldan. Three points secured and a historic morale-boosting win in the bag. Speaking of the bag, The Brazilians bagged millions for their win over Uldan. FIFA awards R30 million to every winning side in the FIFA CWC. Meaning, Sundowns secured over R35 million after beating South Korean outfit, Uldan on 18 July 2025. Furthermore, the winning start (and the millions that came with it) will give The Brazilians plenty of confidence heading into their next two group encounters. Next up, Sundowns take on German giants, Borrussia Dortmund before playing their final group F fixture against Fluminenense. Here's the dates and kick-off times of both Sundowns FIFA CWC Fixtures. As reported on The South African, FIFA will be awarding each side R35.8 million per win. Meanwhile, a draw will see both sides involved given $1 million. This equates to R18 million (R17.9 million). So, Sundowns still have R60 million to play for in the Group stages alone. Now, they will go into the match against Dortmund as huge underdogs, but they will give it everything. However, Sundowns could push Fluminense very far in what is likely set to decide the side joining Dortmund in the round of 16. So, they can realistically still expect to play for between R20-R30 million and they have given themselves a real sniff at fighting for a spot in the next round.
