Why is the Europa League final between MU and Tottenham worth up to 100 million dollars?

Reaching the Europa League final will earn MU and Tottenham a combined $22 million. If they win at San Mames, Bilbao (Spain), either team will earn around $29 million. This amount of money cannot be compared to the Champions League (the champion can receive $160 million), but great things are still ahead.

Accordingly, the Europa League winners also own a ticket to the Champions League next season. Since the beginning of this season, the prize fund of UEFA tournaments has increased to 3.7 billion USD, of which 74.38% is reserved for the Champions League. Just by participating, each team will receive 21 million USD. After that, the money will increase based on the performance.

According to Swiss Ramble's calculations, in the group stage, the top spot earned Liverpool $122 million, while the next positions belonged to Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​which were worth around $100 million. In the case of the Gunners, they received an additional $43 million for reaching the semi-finals.

Even if they lose all eight qualifying matches, the money they receive from UEFA is still significant. Young Boys and Slovan Bratislava, the two teams that lost all their qualifying matches, will collect around $11 million and $5 million in additional prize money, respectively. In addition, teams will earn a fair amount from matchday revenue, such as ticket sales and value-added products, as well as television rights. That is why Swiss Ramble estimates that the value of the Europa League championship could reach $100 million.

From a financial perspective, winning at San Mames is hugely significant for Tottenham and United, both of whom have seen their revenues fall due to not being in the Champions League and are under pressure from the Premier League's rules on profitability and sustainability.
