• Chelsea players will smile to the bank following their triumph at the just concluded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States
• The Blues, against all odds, defeated tournament favourites Paris Saint-Germain in an entertaining final at the MetLife Stadium
• Emerging champions of the expanded competition earned the English club approximately £90million

Members of the Chelsea squad that won the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States will earn a huge bonus for winning the tournament in the United States.

The Blues produced an incredible performance to defeat favourites Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the final at the MetLife Stadium on Sunday, July 13.

Most valuable player of the tournament, Cole Palmer, grabbed a brace in the first half, finding the back of the net in the 22nd and 30th minute before assisting Joao Pedro’s goal just before halftime.

Chelsea’s aggressive high press and clinical counterattacks overwhelmed PSG, who struggled to respond despite dominating possession.

ESPN reports that PSG’s Joao Neves was sent off in the 83rd minute for pulling Marc Cucurella’s hair, and post-match tensions saw PSG manager Luis Enrique appear to strike Pedro, sparking controversy.

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez won the tournament’s Golden Glove with key saves as the London club wrapped things up in style.

The final was witnessed by 81,118 fans, including U.S. President Donald Trump, who joined the squad in celebrating the title.

How much each Chelsea player will receive

Emerging champions of the expanded competition earned Chelsea approximately £90million, and each player will take home a £350,000 bonus.

Despite not offering the highest base salaries, the players will earn huge pay, as potential signings can also see that success is lucratively rewarded, per Deadline Day.

The club’s model incentivises performance, with bonuses tied to specific achievements like Champions League qualification and trophy wins.

Qualifying for the Champions League triggered as much as a twenty per cent pay rise for the squad, while additional bonuses were earned for the Europa Conference League triumph.

The Club World Cup bonuses will further boost player earnings, which will ultimately motivate sustained high performance.

This reward-driven approach is central to the club’s strategy for attracting and retaining top talent, promising long-term benefits.

Chelsea to wear gold badge

Meanwhile, as a reward for their victory, the squad will wear the prestigious gold FIFA Champions badge on their kits for the next four years.

The new rule is a significant shift from the previous regulation, which permitted champions to display the badge for just one year until a new winner was crowned in the annual format.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced the change as part of the revamped Club World Cup structure, now held every four years, beginning with the expanded 32-team edition.

Madueke spotted with Burna Boy

Legit.ng earlier reported that Noni Madueke was notably absent from Chelsea’s historic 3-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final held at the MetLife Stadium, choosing instead to leave the team camp early to finalise his move to Premier League rivals Arsenal.

His absence, permitted by Chelsea to facilitate a £52 million transfer, raised eyebrows, but it was what followed that truly stirred controversy.
