Al-Ahly achieved third place in the 2023 Club World Cup, and with it, it has succeeded in seizing a great financial benefit.
The Red Giants defeated Urawa Red Diamonds in the third and fourth place match with a score of 4-2, achieving a historic fourth bronze medal.
Thus, Al-Ahly’s reward for participating in the Club World Cup becomes $2.5 million, or more than 75 million pounds.
This amount enters Al-Ahly’s coffers at a critical time when the Egyptian club is suffering from a financial crisis that has forced it to borrow money from a bank to pay its many dollar expenses.
Al-Ahly has 5 professionals whose salaries are huge and paid in dollars, in addition to coach Marcel Koller, whose salary exceeds 120 thousand dollars per month.
Meanwhile, Al-Ittihad Jeddah club received only $1.5 million, compared to only $1 million for Auckland City, and $2 million for fourth-place Urawa.
The winner of the Club World Cup will win $5 million, while the second-place winner will receive $4 million.
