Seattle Sounders players selected to wear t-shirts bearing the slogan "Club World Cash Grab" before the game against Minnesota United on Sunday night. They aim for larger bonuses as the club specializes in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.

S代表 dollars symbol represents lucrative prize money
The "S" was stylized as a dollar sign to reflect the massive prize money offered toliterature clubs participating in the tournament. Sounders, aiming for fairness with their collective earnings under the club’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA) and the league’sardi amplitude deal, face historical inequality and occasional overload.

MLSPA quickly raised t-shirts
MLSPA prepared a statement during the unveiling of Sounders’ t-shirts, signaling their financial commitment. The league, however, has denied allocating fair compensation to its players, citing a CBA change and non-specific tournament structure.

Sounders qualified for the expanded tournament
The Sounders qualified for the FIFA Club World Cup after their landmark Concacaf Champions League victory in 2022 and the club’s 2021 CBA update. Unlike other tournaments, the Club World Cup’s prize money is now explicit.

Current CBA structure and potential payments
For non-specific tournaments eligible under the Club World Cup, 50% of prize money up to a maximum $1 million per team is allocated to players. This structured approach meansSounders would receive $5 million this year, far less than other tournaments.
