Chelsea have the chance to secure a historic financial windfall by winning the Club World Cup this summer, with the tournament winners set to receive a staggering $125 million in prize money, according to the BBC.

This sum is reportedly the highest ever awarded in club football for a seven-game format, making it a highly lucrative competition for the participating teams.

The Blues earned their spot in the 32-team tournament by winning the Champions League in 2021. In the group stage, they are set to face Brazilian giants Flamengo and Tunisian side Esperance. However, their third opponent remains unconfirmed following Club Leon’s disqualification.

With such a massive prize on the line, Chelsea will be aiming to add another Club World Cup title to their collection and claim a record-breaking financial reward in the process.
