Flamengo lead Libertadores semi-final prize pot after Conmebol release | OneFootball

Conmebol has released the prize money accrued by the 2026 Libertadores semi-finalists, and holders Flamengo lead the way on $9.61 million, about R$ 57 million.

Palmeiras follow on $9.27 million, roughly R$ 55 million. Estudiantes and Fluminense are level on $8.93 million apiece, about R$ 53 million each.

Flamengo won five of six in the group stage to reach the last 16 as one of the favourites. Against Cruzeiro they drew 1-1 away then won 2-1 in Rio, advancing 3-2 on aggregate.

In the quarter-finals, Independiente del Valle of Ecuador were beaten 2-0 away before a 1-1 draw at the Maracanã sealed a 3-1 aggregate success.

Next up is Estudiantes, who knocked out Corinthians 1-0. The semi-final legs are scheduled for 14 and 21 October, and Flamengo will host the return at the Maracanã after posting the best campaign among the four. It is their fifth semi-final in eight years.

The champions will receive $25 million, R$ 148 million, for winning the final, a figure that could exceed $40 million once bonuses and incentives across the campaign are included. Progress to the final would further increase Flamengo’s earnings. ESPN will televise the ties, with Coluna do Fla TV carrying live coverage online.
