Napoli’s earnings from Italian Super Cup in Riyadh: prizes, record sums | OneFootball

From the victory against Bologna to the overall prize pool: all the numbers of the 2025 edition. Napoli's victory against Bologna in the Italian Super Cup final is not only a prestigious trophy but also a particularly significant income.

Italian Super Cup in Riyadh, how much Napoli earned: prizes, record figures, and revenue distribution

The 2025 edition, held in Riyadh with the Final Four format, confirmed the economic growth of the competition, making it an increasingly central event in the Italian football calendar.

The 2-0 success signed by David Neres allows the Azzurri to lift the Super Cup again after eleven years and take home a total prize exceeding 11 million euros. A figure that certifies how the tournament has become strategic even from a financial point of view.

A record prize pool for the Italian Super Cup

For the third consecutive year, the Super Cup was played with the four-team format, involving the Italian champion, the Italian Cup winner, and the finalists of the two competitions. According to data released by Calcio e Finanza, the total prize pool of the 2025 edition reached 22.5 million euros, the highest ever.

Participation alone already guaranteed a significant fee, making the event particularly appealing for all the clubs involved. As noted in federal circles, “the Super Cup is now an economic asset as well as a sporting one.”

How much Napoli earned with the victory

Napoli, the tournament winner, is the club that benefited the most from the prize distribution. Specifically, the Azzurri earned:

9.5 million euros for winning the Super Cup

1.5 million euros additional for playing a friendly against the winner of the Arabian Super Cup

This brings the total earnings to about 11 million euros. An important income that strengthens the budget and rewards a team capable of dominating both in the semifinal against Milan and in the final against Bologna.

The earnings of the other participants

For the other teams, the Riyadh tournament also represented a source of revenue far from marginal:

Bologna, losing finalist: 6.7 million euros

Inter and Milan, defeated in the semifinals: 2.4 million euros each

Numbers that explain why, despite discussions about the calendar and travel, clubs are looking with increasing interest at this format.

A trophy that matters off the field too

Besides its symbolic value, the Italian Super Cup confirms itself as a key event on the economic front. Winning helps to win, but it also helps to plan. For Napoli, the reigning Italian champion, the triumph in Riyadh means international prestige, image return, and a precious cash injection.

And as is often said in modern football, “trophies fill the showcase, but prizes keep the accounts in order.” In Riyadh, Napoli managed to do both.
