Champions Trophy and World Cup Difference: These days the theme of Champions Trophy is in discussions, which is going to return after a long time. Eight world teams are going to participate in the Champions Trophy 2025 and this tournament will run for about 3 weeks. Although the Champions Trophy is also one of the world’s largest cricket tournaments, but it has often been compared to the World Cup and has also been called the Mini World Cup. It has been arising in the question that when the top team of the world is participating in both tournaments, then how is the difference between them. Here you will get the answer to this question.
Difference between Champions Trophy and World Cup
Talking about the World Cup, it started in 1975 and after that the ICC has been organizing it at an interval of four years. The Cricket World Cup is one of the world’s most viewed sports tournaments, about which 10 teams participated in it. On the other hand, talking about the Champions Trophy, only 8 teams have always participated in it. The number of teams creates a big difference between the Champions Trophy and the World Cup.
Another big difference between the two tournaments is that the ICC has organized the World Cup every four years after 1975. On the other hand, the Champions Trophy began in 1998, but contrary to the World Cup, there has been no continuity in its event. The Champions Trophy has been done sometimes after two years, sometimes three and sometimes after four years. This time the ICC is going to organize the Champions Trophy after eight years. In clear terms, the duration of organizing both tournaments has been different.
Big difference in prize money
The ICC has announced that the winner of the Champions Trophy 2025 will get a prize money of about Rs 19.45 crore. At the same time, the runner -up will get around Rs 9.72 crore as a prize money. Each semi -finalist team will be given 4.8 crores and all eight teams will be given Rs 1.08 crore to participate in the tournament.
Australia became the champion in the 2023 World Cup, which had received a prize money of Rs 33.2 crore and the runner -up India received Rs 16.6 crore. These figures make it clear that the Prize Money of the World Cup is about one and a half times more than the Champions Trophy. Let us know that India is one of the select countries that have won both the Champions Trophy and the World Cup Trophy.
