Copa Sul-Americana: how much São Paulo earned in Uruguay win | OneFootball

São Paulo got off to a good start in the Copa Sudamericana, with a 1-0 win over Boston River on Tuesday night (7) in Montevideo, Uruguay. As a result, the club pocketed its first prize money in the competition, whose champion will receive a millionaire payout.

Just for taking part in this group stage, Tricolor receives US$300,000 (R$1.53 million at the exchange rate of the day). And for each win at this stage, another US$125,000 (R$637,500) goes to the winning club.

So, adding the two prize amounts already secured so far, São Paulo has earned around R$2.1675 million from the hefty prizes in the 2026 Copa Sudamericana.

If São Paulo puts together an almost perfect campaign, with six wins in the opening stage and the Sudamericana title at the end, it could earn up to R$70 million in prize money alone for its struggling coffers. See here how much each stage of the tournament pays.

The Tricolor side did not play a great match in Uruguay, on a very windy night that greatly affected both teams, but it won thanks to a decisive goal by Paraguayan Bobadilla to claim its first three points in Group C.

In the Sudamericana, the next match is only next week, against Chilean side O’Higgins, at Morumbi. Before that, Roger Machado’s team visits Vitória for the 11th round of the Brasileirão this Saturday (11) at 4:30 p.m. (Brasília time).
