Posted by Emlyn Begley | 9 hours ago | Sport | Views: 11


If Manchester City win the tournament they would land about £92m in total – but Chelsea would earn slightly less.

The potential prize money was initially reported as £97m but the exchange rate between US dollars and British pounds has changed since then.

Teams get a participation fee for playing, which for European teams varies depending on “sporting and commercial criteria”.

City’s fee is the maximum of £27.9m. Chelsea are on the upper end of the scale but do not get quite as much, BBC Sport has been told.

Both teams qualified for the tournament by winning the Champions League in the past four seasons.

Teams from North America, Africa, Asia and Oceania get just under £7m, with South American clubs landing about £11m.

The prize money rises depending how far you go (regardless of which continent you are from).

  • In the group stages, wins are worth almost £1.5m, with about £750,000 for a draw

  • Reaching the last 16 earns clubs £5.5m

  • The quarter-finals are worth £9.6m

  • A semi-final spot lands teams another £15.3m

  • Reaching the final and losing is £21.9m

  • Winning the competition is worth £29.2m

The total prize pot Fifa has offered is $1bn (£730m), which is believed to be a record amount.
