How much prize money could Tottenham win from Europa League

Tottenham Hotspur have already earned a decent sum as a result of their showing in the Europa League this season, but they can take home ten times as much if they end up winning the whole competition.

Tottenham on course to qualify for the knockout stages

Spurs currently sit in sixth place in the Europa League table, with four wins, two draws and a loss from their seven matches so far.

Ange Postecoglou‘s men can guarantee passage straight to the final 16 if they beat Elfsborg at home next week, but if they slip up in that game, they could be forced to go through an additional two-legged tie.

That is the last thing that the Lilywhites need, given their injury list and their busy schedule right now.

Price money Tottenham could earn from the Europa League

TBR Football point out that each win in the group stages of the Europa League sees teams earn £379,201 while each draw fetches £126,400.

With Spurs having won four and drawn two, it is estimated that the club have already earned £1.1m just in prize money this season.

Furthermore, the outlet explains that Tottenham could stand to earn as much as £10.95m if they lift the trophy in San Mames come May, while they would make £5.90m if they finish runners-up.

A place in the final four of the competition would see the North London club’s coffers boosted by £3.54m.

The Champions League is levels above in terms of finances

In contrast to these figures, the same report explains that a single win in the group stages of the Champions League is worth £1.8m, which is around five times what a win in the Europa League is worth.

That is just when it comes to the prize money, with the Champions League also bringing higher revenue in terms of sponsorships and matchday income.

That explains why so many clubs are desperate to get into Europe’s elite competition, particularly in this era of FFP and PSR.
