Chelsea are poised to earn up to £60 million from their participation in FIFA’s expanded Club World Cup next summer, largely thanks to a lucrative broadcasting deal secured with DAZN.

The Blues qualified for the prestigious tournament due to their Champions League triumph in 2021 under former manager Thomas Tuchel.

Chelsea have been drawn into Group D, where they will face Brazilian giants Flamengo, Mexican side Club León, and Tunisian champions Esperance Sportive.

The significant financial boost comes at a pivotal time for Chelsea, offering an opportunity to further strengthen their squad and support long-term projects under head coach Enzo Maresca. The broadcasting deal ensures that the Club World Cup not only provides international exposure but also substantial monetary rewards.

With £60 million on the line, Chelsea will undoubtedly aim to make a strong impression in the competition, which represents a chance to showcase their strength on a global stage while competing for a coveted trophy.
