UNITED FUTSAL TRIPLES THE PRO DIVISION PRIZE MONEY

United Futsal has tripled the prize money for the World Futsal Championships Pro Division. Edition XIV, to be played in Orlando from July 11 to July 15, 2027, will distribute $150,000 across the men's competition, with $75,000 going to the champion and every road, Gold, Silver and Bronze, paying its own winner.

The bigger change is the addition of a women's division. Twelve teams will compete for a $75,000 purse on the same court, on the same days, with finals played on the same day as the men's. The women's champion takes home $45,000. In total, $225,000 will be paid out on the floor in Orlando.

Both divisions use the same format: group stage, then knockout roads for every team, with the Golden Minute deciding any match still level at full time. Entry is $15,000 per team, secured by a $5,000 deposit. Applications for both divisions are open now and remain free until a team is accepted.
