Europe dividing money 50-50 with rest of the world.
Europe’s top-flight clubs will share half of the $250m solidarity pot from the Club World Cup last year, ending a saga that had caused frustration among those who did not participate in the tournament.
A portion of the $125m will be given to all top-division European clubs not involved in the Club World Cup, with amounts varying depending on the number of seasons a side competed at that level between 2021 and 2024.
In the same letter, EFC said the lack of a solution on Club World Cup solidarity payments was “of serious disappointment to EFC and our member clubs”.
