Carioca team surpassed Seattle Sounders in the tournament debut in the United States; value is given to each victory in the group stage
O Botafogo guaranteed US $ 2 million, equivalent to R $ 11.1 million in the current price, when overcoming the Seattle Sounders 2-1 on Sunday night (15.jun.2025).
The amount is paid by victory in the group phase of the 2025 Club World Cup in the United States. The match was at Lumen Field in Seattle.
If the confrontation ended tied, both Botafogo and Seattle Sounders would receive $ 1 million each, approximately $ 5.5 million.
United States tax legislation determines that part of the amount will be taxed if the club receives the amount while in US territory.
The Rio club may choose to receive the full amount of the award only when returning to Brazil, in order to reduce tax burden.
Prior to their participation in the Club World Cup, Botafogo had already secured $ 134.45 million in awards this season.
