Rayados and Pachuca land World Cup cash prize
The Club World Cup came to an end with Chelsea as champion and with prizes defined for the 32 teams, including Monterrey and Pachuca. Both representatives of Liga MX received economic compensation according to their performance. Advertisement Each Concacaf club secured $9.5 million just for participating, but sports achievements increased the figure. Monterrey stood out in the tournament and accumulated a larger prize than Pachuca. Rayados obtained two draws, one win, and advanced to the Round of 16, adding $21.05 million. This placed them in 18th place in the ranking of highest earnings in the tournament. In contrast, Pachuca did not manage to score points during the tournament and was one of the worst classified. Los Tuzos returned to Mexico with only the $9.55 million from the base prize. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
