Mamelodi Sundowns are about to make even more money as they secure a spot in the highly anticipated FIFA Club World Cup. The competition, which has been revamped for 2024, will take place in the United States from June 14 to July 13. Sundowns, alongside 31 other top clubs, will be competing for a share of the tournament’s massive cash prize.
The South African side is one of four African teams in the tournament, joining Al Ahly, Esperance, and Wydad Casablanca, thanks to their consistent semifinal finishes in the CAF Champions League over the last decade.
According to FIFA, each of the 32 participating clubs will receive a share of the tournament’s $1 billion (R18 billion) pot. This amount will increase as teams advance further in the competition.
