The magical team earned 7 years of income in 3 games! From 0-10 to tie the Boca, the second game

On the stage of the Club World Cup where superstars gather and strong teams compete for the dominance, most people only focus on those popular titles: Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern, Paris, etc. No one will pay attention to a "grassroots team" worth only 1.23 million euros. Of course, except for their own fans, this "semi-amateur" team in the third game, but in the Boca Youth Year, which was surprisingly tied the strong Boca Youth Year. However, this is not their most glorious moment, but their way of making money. This team is the Oceania champion from New Zealand: Auckland City!

This "semi-amateur" team won $4.58 million in just 10 days, which is equivalent to their total club income for the entire seven years! For them, participating in the competition is second, and “making money” is the first. They will never win the championship. It is a miracle if they can enter the knockout round. First, they were killed by Bayern 0-10, and Yu Dan forced the Boca youth to tie the ball, and they completed the "god-level counterattack" and got 1 point. Although Auckland City fought extremely tenaciously against Portuguese Super League powerhouse Benfica in the second round, and although he still lost the game in the end, the score and the scene were respected. The veteran Zhou Tong in the team still insisted on playing all over the game despite a minor injury and was unwilling to leave the game. Such a fighting spirit is moving. The third round is their closest battle to victory. Faced with the Argentine giant Boca youth who had been eliminated early and had a sluggish fighting spirit, Auckland City seized the opportunity. He was not afraid of confrontation since the beginning and finally stubbornly defended the 1-1 draw. This point is not only their first point in this tournament, but also the team's first historic breakthrough in the Club World Cup draws South American team!

The team of Oakland City is a typical semi-professional club—the players are usually part-time coaches, workers, teachers or deliverymen, and only switch to "professional players" mode during training and competition. Their total value of the team is only 1.23 million euros, which is not as much as a full-back as a Real Madrid full-back. But it was this new version of the Gold Rush Club Cup that allowed them to complete a real version of "Football Rich":

Group match prize: 3.58 million US dollars

draw with Boca bonus: 1 million US dollars

Total bonus: 4.58 million US dollars

You should know that the total club income of Auckland City in the last fiscal year - $660,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to the sum of their total income in the past seven years! It turned out 370%. Winning is not only the bonus, but also the possibility of changing destiny. For small and medium-sized clubs like Auckland City, clubs can use this bonus to update training facilities, hire full-time coaches, improve player benefits, improve youth training systems... and even attract more sponsorships and broadcast contracts through the exposure opportunities accumulated in the Club World Cup.

For the players, this is even more a "professional springboard journey". The broadcast of the Club World Cup covers the world, and even if it is just a few minutes of highlights, it may be noticed by scouts in the top five leagues and have the opportunity to change their destiny. Those who were originally struggling in the New Zealand amateur league now have the possibility of reaching the peak of their careers. Perhaps this is the real meaning of the Gold Rush Edition Club World Cup. What do you think?
