Club transfer fees and tournament cash: two different measures
US$13,110,000,000 — 2025 full year: men’s and women’s professional football; FIFA reports US$13.11 billion overall. FIFA annual report
US$9,890,000,000 — 1 June–2 September 2026 only. Men’s professional 11-a-side international transfers. Not a full-year total. FIFA mid-year report
Club transfer fees are not FIFA income. They are not added to tournament prize pools.
Tracked alternative-format tournament prize pools
US$4,500,000 across two completed 2026 events (four prize brackets).
US$2,000,000 announced for the 12 months after 2026-10-31.
These are organizer-published event prizes, not audited payouts or total world market size.
