How much prize money Tottenham have earned from reaching Europa League final
Tottenham Hotspur have more than just one reason to celebrate after securing a passage into the Europa League final, with the club’s coffers now set to receive a significant boost thanks to some extra prize money.
Ange Postecoglou was ridiculed at the start of the season for saying that he always wins trophies in his second season, but the Australian is now one game away from delivering on his promise.
The Spurs boss came out fighting in his post-match press conference after Tottenham’s win at Bodo/Glimt, with Postecoglou blasting those trying to downplay what a trophy will mean to the club.
Daniel Levy will be a happy man, not just because his decision to stick with the 59-year-old has been vindicated by Tottenham’s passage to a European final, but also because Spurs could be in line for a major financial boost.
How much have Tottenham earned from making Europa League final?
According to UEFA’s information, Tottenham bagged a prize money of £12.97m for reaching the Europa League semifinal and now stand to get at least another £5.9m, which is the amount awarded to the runner-up.
If Spurs are to lift the trophy at the San Mames in May, they will gain an additional £10.9m.
That means that overall, Tottenham’s coffers have been boosted by £18.8m until now as a result of their progression to the final.
If they were to beat Manchester United and lift the trophy in Bilbao, the club’s total earnings in prize money would rise to £23.8m.
Even bigger financial boost for Champions League qualification
Winning the Europa League also gives Tottenham a direct ticket to the group stages of next season’s Champions League.
Finance expert Keiran Maguire has said that Spurs will earn a minimum of £80m-£90m in the Champions League, including prize money and matchday revenue.
That will be a huge boost to the Lilywhites, especially given that Tottenham’s finances are in a delicate situation ahead of the summer window.
