How much did Al Hilal (Saudi Arabia), who advanced to the quarterfinals of the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025, earn.
After advancing to the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup, Al Hilal Fahad bin Napel's decision became a hot topic. After winning the round of 16 against Manchester City, Chairman Vin Napel visited the locker room and promised to pay bonuses in front of players and coaches. At that moment, the al-Hilal locker room was covered with cheers, and Chairman Vin Napel also took off the Gutra (a traditional dress worn by men in the Arabian Peninsula) and threw it at the players. In the video at the time of the bonus payment promise released by the Al Hilal club on social media, only the situation before and after was disclosed, with Chairman Vin Napel cutting the part referring to the amount. Saudi daily newspaper Ashark Al-Ausat said that the bonus amount offered by Chairman Vin Napel is 2 million riyals per person (about 724 million won), and 64 million riyals (about 23.3 billion won) are added to the amount paid to the coaching staff.

The players' loyalty is bound to go up in the air as they receive heavy bonuses. Left-back Henang Roddy denigrated us that when we came to Saudi Arabia, people went to Saudi Arabia for money"That's right. (But) we beat Man City for the money. Midfielder Sergei Milinkovic-Savic once again proved that the Saudi league is strong and deserves respect"I received a lot of criticism in the process of transfer, but now the results tell us even if we don't have to."
Al Hilal, who has already made a good profit even if he pays a bonus.

Al Hilal is the leader of 'Oil Money'. It has established a 'post-Asian power' by recruiting not only world-class players such as Hoobeng Neves, João Cancelo, Sergei Milinkovic-Savic, and Kalidou Koulibaly, but also Simone Inzaghi. To this end, it has spent as much astronomical money as European big clubs. The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) is behind this. Al Hilal, owned by PIF led by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, has a 75% stake. PIF's total assets are estimated at $9.25 trillion (about 1,2625 trillion).
Al-Hilal will play against Fluminensee (Brazil) in the quarterfinals on the 5th. If they win this match, they will compete with the winner of the quarterfinals between Faumeiras (Brazil) and Chelsea for the final. FIFA has been given 18.06 million euros to advance to the semifinals, 25.8 million euros to advance to the finals, and 34.3 million euros to win.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid (Spain) is the team that received the most allowance among the teams that advanced to the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. Real Madrid played four games from the group stage to the round of 16, earning €54.83 million (about 88 billion won) in allowances. Bayern Munich (Germany) ranked second with 48.97 million euros, followed by Paris Saint-Germain (France, 48.37 million euros), Borussia Dortmund (Germany, 45.83 million euros), and Faumeiras (34.26 million euros).
