Chelsea’s Path to the Title and the Millions Along the Way
Chelsea’s journey to the top of the world began with a strong start in the group stage, where they opened with a 2-0 win over LAFC, earning USD 2 million as per FIFA Club World Cup Prize Money Structure.
They suffered a 3-1 setback against Flamengo in their second group match but bounced back with a 3-0 win over ES Tunis, securing another USD 2 million and qualification to the knockout stage.
From there, the knockout rounds became a cash pipeline.
A commanding 4-1 Round of 16 win over Benfica earned them USD 7.5 million and 2-1 Quarter-final win over Palmeiras saw them claim USD 13.125 million.
Their 2-0 Semifinal win over Fluminense brought in another USD 21 million while beating PSG secured a whopping USD 40 million as tournament champions, bringing their total earning to about $116 million
Transfer War Chest Boost
Chelsea’s triumph is as valuable financially as it is symbolically.
Manager Enzo Maresca, who masterminded the tactical approach that neutralized PSG’s stars, has not only added silverware to the cabinet but also helped deliver a windfall that strengthens Chelsea’s financial muscle ahead of the new season.
For a club that has invested heavily under Todd Boehly’s ownership, this cash boost may ease Financial Fair Play pressure and offer room for further squad reinforcements.
As the Blues celebrated under the lights of New Jersey, it was not just about the trophy but a payday that makes a powerful statement about their return to elite status.
