At the Club World Cup
“Only” ten million euros for the Bulls
Soccer runners-up Salzburg face Sturm Graz in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Although the Club World Cup in the USA is still a long way off, new information has now come to light regarding the appearance fees. A column by "Krone" sports editor Philip Kirchtag.
It has been clear for some time that participation in the Club World Cup will pay off financially for Salzburg. But the exact sums involved have long been the subject of speculation. First it was said that each team would receive 50 million euros, then recently a rumor circulated that European clubs would receive 40 million euros.
It has now emerged that the starting fee for the runners-up is significantly lower than expected - Salzburg will "only" receive around ten million euros. The reason? The club coefficient! Because the Bulls are the weakest participating team in Europe in the UEFA rankings (42nd place), they are at the bottom of the food chain. Top clubs such as Real Madrid or Manchester City, however, receive around the rumored 40 million.
Nevertheless, it will be some time before the exact entry fees are finalized. Negotiations are currently underway between FIFA and the representative body of European soccer clubs, which includes Bulls boss Stephan Reiter. However, no major changes are to be expected.
