Manchester City and Chelsea could earn up to £97m in prize money from this year's Club World Cup.

The overall prize fund, shared between all 32 teams based on different factors, will be £775m, with £407m divided between all participating clubs and £368m awarded on a performance-related basis.

Money awarded for participation is weighted by a ranking based on sporting and commercial criteria, meaning European clubs will earn more for taking part than teams from other continents.

The top-ranked European team will receive £29.6m just for participating - and they would secure the maximum prize available for winning all of their group stage games and then going on to win the tournament.
