Qatar boosts FIFA Arab Cup prize fund to record $36.5 million

The 2025 FIFA Arab Cup will have a record prize fund of more than $36.5 million, Qatar's Local Organising Committee announced.

The competition, which features senior men's national teams from the 22-member Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA), representing both Asia and Africa, takes place from December 1 to 18.

Having taken over the organisation from UAFA, which initially ran the event, FIFA has been in charge since the tournament's revival in 2021, when it had a reported prize fund of $25.5 million.

The draw will be held in Doha on Sunday, with defending champions Algeria among the favourites.
