Fluminense continues to make history not only on the field, but also off it. With a draw against Mamelodi Sundowns, the Rio de Janeiro club secured a spot in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup — and, in the process, added more important figures to its coffers. The total prize money already won in the competition amounts to an impressive US$ 26.7 million, equivalent to R$ 148.9 thousand
Fluminense continues to make history not only on the field, but also off it. With a draw against Mamelodi Sundowns, the Rio de Janeiro club secured a spot in the round of 16 of the FIFA Club World Cup — and, in the process, added more important figures to its coffers. The total prize money already won in the competition amounts to an impressive US$26.7 million, equivalent to R$148.9 million at the current exchange rate.
This amount puts Flu close to surpassing its record for revenue in international tournaments, achieved in 2023 with the Libertadores title, when it totaled around R$194 million in prize money. The expectation is that, with an eventual qualification for the quarterfinals, this mark will be definitely surpassed.
💰 Million-dollar prize money for performance
The Tricolor das Laranjeiras' solid campaign in the group stage had already yielded US$15.2 million (R$84.5 million) just for participating. The victory over Ulsan added another US$2 million (R$11.1 million) to the club's coffers, while the draws against Borussia Dortmund and Mamelodi brought in another US$1 million (R$5.5 million) each.
Qualification for the round of 16, made official after the game against the South Africans, brought in another US$7.5 million (R$41.3 million), consolidating Flu among the clubs that have made the most profit so far in this edition of the Club World Cup.
🏟 Upcoming challenges and the possibility of a new financial milestone
The opponent in the round of 16 will be known tonight, when River Plate and Inter Milan play the last round of Group E. Monterrey, from Mexico, also has a chance of advancing, depending on the result of their match against Urawa Reds. Both games take place at 10 pm (Brasília time).
If they advance to the quarterfinals, Fluminense will be guaranteed an additional prize of US$13.1 million (R$72.1 million), which would make the club officially surpass the highest prize amount ever won in its history.

Uma campanha misteriosa tomou conta das redes sociais neste domingo (13). Clubes como Atlético-MG, Cruzeiro, Flamengo, Corinthians, Grêmio e Santos publicaram a enigmática sigla "S.A.B.", gerando especulações entre torcedores e imprensa. Poucas horas depois, veio a revelação: trata-se da "Sociedade Anônima da Brahma".
While many clubs only compete for titles on the field, Esporte Clube Vitória has also stood out off the field. The red-and-black club has been consolidating a fundamental role in the social and economic development of Salvador, even surpassing its biggest rival — Esporte Clube Bahia — in terms of the number of active employees, structural projects and direct impact on the economy.
With plenty of excitement until the final minutes, Inter Milan came from behind to beat Urawa Reds 2-1 this Saturday (21), in a duel valid for the second round of the group stage of the Club World Cup. Even pushed by the local fans, who chanted in the South American “poropopó” style, the Japanese club saw the Italians react in the final stretch and confirm the comeback.
