Fluminense has already banked big Libertadores prize money; see sum | OneFootball

The final stretch of the Copa Libertadores represents for Fluminense a contest that goes beyond a place in the final. The club has already secured a multimillion-dollar prize through its campaign and can still significantly increase its revenue if it advances to the final.

RTI Esporte Agency has learned that Fluminense has accumulated US$ 8.93 million (R$ 46.5 million) in prize money up to the semifinal. The amount places Tricolor among the four clubs that have earned the most in this edition of the Libertadores.

Fluminense is close to the other Brazilian clubs

The amount accumulated by Tricolor das Laranjeiras is the same as Estudiantes of Argentina. Palmeiras appears with US$ 9.27 million (R$ 48.1 million), while Flamengo leads with US$ 9.61 million (R$ 50.1 million).

Fluminense is US$ 680,000 behind Flamengo and US$ 340,000 behind Palmeiras. The amount, moreover, takes into account prize money by round and performance. Tricolor das Laranjeiras can still increase the figure in the final.

The final could raise revenue even further

In the Copa Libertadores, for example, the champion will pocket US$ 25 million (R$ 130 million), while the runner-up will be entitled to another US$ 7 million (R$ 36.5 million) for participating in the final.

For the team managed by coach Marcão, qualification would represent a new multimillion-dollar boost in addition to the US$ 8.93 million already guaranteed. Winning the title would increase the total accumulated in the competition even further.

Prize money also opens up new opportunities

The financial impact of a possible title does not end with Conmebol’s payment. The Libertadores champion secures a spot in the group stage of the competition in 2027 and also plays in the Recopa Sudamericana.

With US$ 8.93 million already guaranteed, Fluminense reaches the semifinal with substantial revenue and can further increase its earnings. Finally, the tournament title also guarantees a place in FIFA competitions and new revenue streams.
