“The prize pool for South American competitions has been growing each season and this shows that Conmebol is knowing how to work the tournament very well. With attention to detail and valuing the fan experience, the entity has attracted new brands and won over an increasingly larger audience. This movement increases revenue and strengthens the competition in the medium and long term”, adds Joaquim Lo Prete, Country Manager of Absolut Sport in Brazil.
The total values correspond to the prizes for the Club World Cup, Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana, Recopa, Campeonato Brasileiro, Copa do Brasil, Supercup, Copa do Nordeste, Copa Verde and State Championships.
“Atlético-MG’s possible entry into the Top-5 of season awards shows how the national scenario has become increasingly relevant in the revenue flow of Brazilian clubs. Even without competing in the Club World Cup, Galo can reach significant financial heights only with consistent sporting performance — something that reinforces the growing weight of continental and domestic competitions in the annual budget”, says Moises Assayag, managing partner of Channel Associados and specialist in sports finance.
