Europe Clubs Get £185m from Club World Cup

Europe's top-flight clubs will receive half of the £185m Club World Cup solidarity fund, ending a long dispute over distribution.

Europe's top-flight clubs will share half of the £185m solidarity pot from last year's Club World Cup, ending a saga that had caused widespread frustration among non-participating clubs. The agreement, which will split the funds 50-50 between Europe and the rest of the world, is expected to be confirmed after a FIFA meeting in October. umafrika.club

The fund was established to ensure the money-spinning competition contributes to football's wider ecosystem. The money will be distributed once the deal between FIFA and European Football Clubs has been ratified.
