Ongoing negotiations between MLS and the MLS Players Association regarding compensation for the Club World Cup prize money have led to significant unrest among players. Following a protest by Seattle Sounders FC players, the MLSPA has shown support for the demand for a fairer share of the prize money. While MLS proposed granting 20% of performance-related payments, the players are pushing for a larger percentage. The atmosphere has grown tense, with the MLSPA describing the current proposal as "retaliatory" and expressing disappointment over how MLS values player contributions.
Although not surprised, the players and the MLSPA are deeply disappointed by this message.
Players collectively would receive $1 million for participation, in addition to any money earned for victories, draws or round qualification throughout the tournament.
