MLS Players’ Union Says Dispute over Club World Cup Compensation Is Ongoing
- The Seattle Sounders, LAFC, and Inter Miami will compete in the Club World Cup starting Saturday in 11 U.S. cities with 32 teams participating.
- The league and the players' union are at an impasse over compensation related to the Club World Cup, as the league's recent proposal excluded extra participation bonuses and included demands unrelated to the existing collective bargaining terms.
- On Sunday, MLS clarified its proposal to provide players with a guaranteed $1 million per team, plus a 20% share of all tournament earnings accumulated starting from the group stage as incentives based on performance.
- Seattle Sounders protested the offer by wearing 'Club World Cup Ca$h Grab' T-shirts last weekend, while players posted the hashtag #FairShareNow, highlighting their call for fairer payouts amid talks continuing.
- The dispute implies ongoing tensions over player pay with the union demanding a larger share of earnings, while MLS owners support performance-based incentives reflecting the tournament's expanded prize money.
