Real Madrid and Barcelona have donated a portion of their earnings from the Saudi Arabian Super Cup to Mallorca, allowing the Balearic club to receive a larger share. The gesture aims to address the unequal distribution of funds set by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), organizers of the tournament.

Mallorca’s Business CEO, Alfonso Díaz, confirmed the agreement with the two Spanish giants on Wednesday. This arrangement mirrors a similar deal from the previous edition when Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid collectively gave $645,000 to Osasuna.

While Díaz did not disclose the exact figures for this year’s donation, he stated that it followed "the same format" as the prior arrangement. “It was discussed, and they shared part of what was due to them. We’ve aimed for at least the same conditions as last year,” Díaz explained during a press briefing in Jeddah, where Mallorca will face Real Madrid in the second semifinal.

Mallorca has expressed dissatisfaction with the current revenue-sharing model. The RFEF receives $43 million annually from Saudi Arabia for hosting the Super Cup, with half distributed among the participating clubs. However, Real Madrid and Barcelona each receive a fixed sum of $6.45 million, while smaller clubs like Mallorca receive significantly less—only $1.67 million for reaching the semifinals.

Díaz emphasized the need for a more equitable system: “The four teams earned their spot in the tournament and should receive equal starting amounts. Bonuses for finalists and winners are fair, but the base distribution should be equal.”

The RFEF’s revenue distribution has been a point of contention. While the federation has not disclosed exact allocations, $21.5 million is reportedly retained by the RFEF, with $4.3 million going annually to Kosmos, Gerard Piqué’s company, for brokering the deal with Saudi Arabia.

Díaz reiterated Mallorca’s commitment to advocating for a fairer system if the club qualifies for future editions.
