OL Lyonnes banked €1.74m from last season’s run to the Women’s Champions League final, and the same prize grid applies again this year.
According to Le Progres, UEFA’s overall women’s pot remains €37.7m, shared among 18 clubs, far below the €2.5bn split by 36 men’s teams.
Last term Lyon received a €505,000 participation fee, plus €320,000 from five wins at €60,000 each and one draw at €20,000 in the league phase. Finishing second behind Barcelona brought €170,000, and they did not collect the €100,000 reserved for play-off clubs ranked fifth to 12th.
Progression delivered €200,000 for the quarter-final against Wolfsburg, which finished 0-1 and 4-0, then €250,000 for the semi-final versus Arsenal, which ended 1-2 and 3-1. Defeat in the Oslo final added €300,000, while Barcelona as winners took €500,000. Michele Kang’s club total excludes gate receipts and TV income.
Aiming to better last season, Lyon could, with a flawless campaign that includes winning the league phase and the final in Warsaw, reach up to €1.99m in bonuses. Visiting Servette in Geneva on Tuesday for matchday one of 2026-2027, they can already lift their pot to €565,000.
