Flamengo bag huge Intercontinental Cup prize, see the figures | OneFootball

With a spot in the final secured, Flamengo has already guaranteed a multi-million prize in the Intercontinental Cup. The financial difference between lifting the trophy and finishing as runner-up exceeds R$ 5 million.

The 2-0 victory over Egypt’s Pyramids not only put the Rubro-Negro in the grand final of the Intercontinental Cup, but also ensured a significant boost to the club’s coffers. By advancing to the final against PSG, Flamengo has secured at least US$ 4 million (about R$ 21.6 million), the amount awarded to the tournament’s runner-up.

Now, in the final scheduled for next Wednesday, the team led by Filipe Luís will take the field in search not only of their second world title, but also of an even more impressive financial reward.

Intercontinental Cup Prize Money: What’s at Stake

The Intercontinental Cup distributes prizes according to the teams’ performance, and the amounts are not cumulative. In other words, the club only receives the amount corresponding to the furthest stage it reaches.

Flamengo’s campaign up to the final has already proven highly profitable. Had they been eliminated in the semifinals, the prize would have been US$ 2 million (approximately R$ 10.9 million). With a spot in the final secured, the Rubro-Negro is now competing for an even bigger check.

Check out the tournament’s prize scale:

In practice, the final against PSG is worth, in addition to the Intercontinental trophy, an extra bonus of US$ 1 million (approximately R$ 5.5 million) for the champion.

Reaching the final already represents a significant boost to Flamengo’s financial planning for next season. Winning the title would mean not only the prestige of a second world championship, but also an even more robust revenue to close the year on a high note.
