Supercoppa Italiana: €11m for winners, bonuses for all | OneFootball

The Italian Super Cup is not just a trophy to be lifted to the sky, but also a major economic operation for Italian football. The 2025 edition, scheduled in Saudi Arabia with the Final Four format, offers a total prize pool exceeding 23 million euros, benefiting not only the participating clubs but the entire Serie A.

Confirmed Format and Main Participants

For the third consecutive year, the competition will be held in Saudi Arabia, from December 18 to 22, with a four-team format. Competing for the Super Cup will be Napoli, the Italian champion, Inter, the Serie A runner-up, Bologna, the Italian Cup winner, and Milan, the national cup finalist.

Besides the sporting prestige, the clubs take the field with a clear objective: to maximize the revenues guaranteed by an increasingly strategic event for Lega Serie A.

A Record Prize Pool of Over 23 Million

The total prize pool exceeds 23 million euros, a figure that may vary slightly based on the sale of television rights. The peculiarity is that the distribution is not limited to the four protagonists of the Final Four.

The other 16 Serie A teams will also benefit from the event: a fund of 2 million euros is planned to be divided among the clubs not participating in the Super Cup. This mechanism is designed to make the operation sustainable and advantageous for the entire system.

How Much the Teams Earn on the Field

Delving into the details of the prize distribution, the Super Cup guarantees significant earnings starting from the semifinals:

An additional bonus of 1.5 million euros can be added to this amount, linked to the potential playing of a friendly match with the winner of the local Super Cup. In total, the prize for the team lifting the trophy can reach up to approximately 11 million euros.

An Increasingly Central Competition

By the numbers, the Italian Super Cup confirms itself as a fundamental asset for the economic growth of Serie A. The revenues generated abroad, international visibility, and prize redistribution make the event appealing not only on a sporting level but also financially.

For the participating clubs, it is a global showcase and an opportunity for immediate earnings. For those excluded, it still provides a significant contribution. The Super Cup, now more than ever, is a business that involves everyone.
