Rare: Club disputes FIFA Club World Cup 2025 bonus with Federation

According to media reports, the reason is that Auckland City had to share $4.5 million with New Zealand Football. Kiwi football managers believe that Auckland City should be responsible for supporting the domestic tournament by sharing the prize money from the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. The amount of money has not been disclosed, but officials will use it to invest in infrastructure and youth football development in New Zealand.

The figure of 4.5 million USD may not be big compared to strong teams in Europe, but for Auckland City and the New Zealand National Championship, where most players still have to work 2 jobs to make a living, it may become a huge profit.

Of course Auckland City refused to give in. They argued that this was money they had worked hard to earn. Auckland City had no obligation to share.

Auckland City lost 2 and drew 1 in the last tournament.

“We don’t know what the decision will be. There is a dispute between us and New Zealand Football about this at the moment,” Auckland City general manager Gordon Watson admitted to CNN Sports. “Unfortunately, I can’t give you a satisfactory answer to your question.”

The New Zealand Football Federation believes their demands are valid. "Although the exact amount is a sensitive issue, we believe that a portion of the FIFA Club World Cup prize money should be transferred to us. This is money that can maintain the sustainability of our competition system," a representative of the body said.

Auckland City is the team that earns the least from the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. While European and South American clubs are allocated at least $10 million by FIFA for their group stage tickets, Auckland City only gets $3.5 million. They got an additional $1 million thanks to the historic 1-1 draw with Boca Juniors.
