Lionel Messi‘s Inter Miami will compete this summer, as will many European powerhouses, such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and PSG.

Manchester City and Chelsea are the only English sides participating, as both have won the Champions League in the last four years.

The Club World Cup will be held across 11 cities in the United States and will get underway on Sunday, July 15 (UK time).

The blockbuster tournament is among the most lucrative and is comparable to the Premier League and the Champions League.

SunSport brings you details on the mammoth prize pot that has attracted some of the biggest clubs in the world.

Club World Cup prize money 2025

Fifa president Gianni Infantino described the distribution model of the Club World Cup as the “biggest-ever prize money for a football tournament” of its seven-game format.

The winning side will earn up to $125million/£97million, which is close to what the Premier League (£176m) and Champions League (£135m) payout to their winners.

A colossal total pot of £775m ($1bn) will be shared between the 32 clubs, with a £407m ($525m) participation fee shared based on sporting and commercial criteria, and £368m ($475m) shared based on sporting performance.

Fifa is not keeping any revenue made from the huge tournament and it expects to share another £200m ($250m) with clubs as solidarity payments

AFTER nine years away, a unique tequila train has finally restarted.

The Tequila Express in Mexico allows passengers to drink all-they-can, whilst whizzing through Jalisco’s UNESCO-listed countryside.

The original Tequila Express stopped in 2015[/caption]

The Tequila Express returned last year, after a nine year hiatus.

Originally created in 1997, the original Tequila Express train journeyed from Guadalajara through Jalisco’s countryside.

However, the service was then abandoned in 2015 as it couldn’t compete with two other tequila trains – Jose Cuervo Express and the Herradura Express.

The Tequila Express returned following $9million (£6.6million) in investment by local governments, tourism and railroad companies.

Onboard, passengers are served food and of course, tequila, throughout the journey.

Visitors can alternatively choose to go on the Jose Cuervo Express, which runs between Guadalajara and Tequila on one-way, pre-curated itineraries.

Passengers can opt for either a sunrise or sunset tour, with four different cabin classes.

Included in the ticket, is time in Tequila itself – with opportunities to explore Mundo Cuervo facilities including the Juan Beckmann Gallardo Cultural Centre and La Rojeña Distillery.

In the basic Express class, there is a tequila tasting and tour.

On the other hand, the Elite package includes seating in the train’s most opulent cabin, with Mexican cuisine, tequila tasting and more activities.

The Herradura Express is then also similar, heading from Guadalajara to Tequila.

There are several cabin options are available as well as a Wagon Bar – an intimate Wagon Intermedio for small groups.

One visitor shared on Tripadvisor: “It is an unforgettable experience.”

Another added: “Great opportunity to learn about the tequila production process from field to glass, with tutored tastings and a tour of the distillery.

“The sunset train journey back was superb with wonderful food and non-stop, freshly made cocktails.

“Will remember the day for a lifetime.”

The trains journey through Jalisco[/caption]

Today, Jalisco is home to around 150 registered distilleries and 20 of which, are in Tequila.

Whilst some of the train experiences available include a visit to a distillery, Tequila is also home to El Tequileño/Casa Salles – the only distillery on Tequila, where you can also stay.

The Casa Salles, El Tequileño’s boutique hotel offers a spa experience and is within walking distance of the city centre.

The venue also offers distillery tours and tastings, a restaurant and hiking and city tours via the hotel.

Tequila, to legally be tequila, mist be produced in Jalisco or one of the designated tequila municipalities located in four other states.

There is also a hidden bar in England named one of the world’s best – the only one in the UK to make the list.

Plus, you can now stay in a Tequila hotel where you can drink all the booze you want – and sleep in a barrel.

THE BODY of a 30-year-old woman has been found at a home after a car crashed into a McDonald’s — leading police to arrest a man on suspicion of murder.

Northamptonshire Police have confirmed that a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman’s body was discovered in Burton Latimer.

Officers said they received reports of a man crashing a blue Skoda Superb at a McDonald’s on Folley Way at around 3.30pm on June 13.

Police arrived at the scene, which led to the discovery of a woman in her 30s found dead at an address on Donnington Road.

The East Midlands Special Operations Unit has launched a murder investigation and is appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

A local resident said they saw forensic teams and a heavy police presence in what is usually a quiet town.

Police said the 35-year-old man arrested remains in custody and confirmed they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the murder.

Neighbourhood policing teams will remain in the area, carrying out regular patrols to reassure the community and encouraging anyone with concerns to speak to them.

Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Torie Harrison, of EMSOU, said: “Following the tragic discovery of a woman’s body in Burton Latimer yesterday afternoon, our thoughts and condolences are with everyone who knew and loved her.

“We have established a comprehensive and fast-moving investigation into the circumstances of her death, with one arrest made.

“At present we believe this to be an isolated incident with no risk to the wider community.

“I know news of this death will cause immense concern and distress to people in the local area, and we will be maintaining an enhanced presence over the coming days to provide reassurance and support as enquiries continue.”

Anyone with information — including CCTV, smart doorbell, or dash-cam footage — is urged to contact Northamptonshire Police on 101, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

SEASONAL flowers are beautiful, but perennial plants provide infinite colour and joy.

Pansies are considered a short-lived perennial, meaning they can survive for more than one growing season.

Pansies come in an array of colours and flower for months if deadheaded, watered and fed[/caption]

They are super colourful, often marked in the centre and look like faces – sometimes with darker blotches or ‘whiskered’ or plain.

They come in an enormous range of colours and variations – from blue, mauve, pink, purple, red, yellow, and white.

What’s more, they flower all year round, which is great when the rest of your garden dies back and you’re desperate for colour in the winter.

Pansies start petite in size but can spread, so they make the perfect plant to add to your garden borders, pots and hanging baskets.

And IKEA is selling trays of 10 pansies for just £3.50 – that’s 35p a plant!

The online product description for the pansies reads: “Let your indoor and outdoor plant pots bloom with lively pansies.”

And IKEA customers were impressed with the pansies, one said: “They’ve provided continuous spring colour to our garden.”

Another wrote: “Good value great price, lovely plants.”

A third reviewed: “Good value pansies nice colours and healthy plants.”

How to care for pansies

Pansies do best in full sun to partial shade.

If there has been continuous hot weather, they need to be watered regularly – and water the soil rather than the foliage as this avoids the spread of fungal diseases.

From spring to autumn, it’s recommended that you feed them fortnightly with a liquid fertiliser, and remove the faded and dead flowers regularly, which encourages the plant to keep producing new blooms.

You can do this by either pinching them off with your finger and thumb, or using a pair of garden snips or secateurs to cut off the dead heads.

Other flowers that come back every year

Chrysanthemums

A hardy perennial, Chrysanthemums if planted in the right conditions will return the following year.

 Campanula portenschlagiana 

Nicknamed the Dalmatian bellflower, Campanula portenschlagiana is a hardy perennial, meaning it will typically return each year. 

It forms a mat-like ground cover and is known for its spreading habit which is perfect for the front of garden borders or under trees and shrubs.

Kalanchoe

Also known as “widow’s thrill” for its reputation for being very hardy and able to thrive in harsh conditions, including neglect and minimal watering.

As perennial succulents, kalanchoe thrives indoors and required a period of reduced light and water to simulate winter dormancy. 

PETERBOROUGH chairman Darragh MacAnthony admitted he is feeling “bitter” after one of his star players left the club.

Ricky Jade-Jones has departed Posh with his contract expiring at the end of the month.

PA

He has signed for Bundesliga side St. Pauli in what is a big blow for the League One side.

Jade-Jones has been at Peterborough since the age of nine and played 190 games after graduating the academy.

As a result, Posh would have been guaranteed a hefty fee by way of compensation if the striker had signed for another English club.

His move to Germany means Peterborough will only be granted a small training compensation fee.

MacAnthony shared his thoughts about Jade-Jones’ move on X.

He wrote: “He turned down four brilliant Championship clubs to do this move which has cost his home town club a lot of money.

“Not going to lie, it stings and makes me bitter for the moment as the kid has been with us so many years and I couldn’t have been more supportive of him but we move on and don’t look back.

“This is football and it can kick you in the nuts at times.”

Jade-Jones scored 18 goals in all competitions last season including 11 in League One.

He is now set to play in the top tier for the first time after St. Pauli finished 14th in the Bundesliga following promotion in 2024.
