With Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur set to meet in the 2025 UEFA Europa League final at the San Mamés Stadium in Bilbao, the prize on offer is great – not only the silverware but also the juicy financial rewards that come with winning.
Prize money breakdown: What’s at stake in Bilbao tonight
Tonight’s winner stands to gain up to £10.95 million, which is almost double the £5.9 million the runner-up would take home. This sum includes the £5.9 million prize for reaching the final and a further £5 million for winning the silverware.
Both clubs have earned money during the tournament besides the final. United will earn around £13.1m when performance-related bonuses for league phase wins and draws, and progress in each knockout round are taken into account. Tottenham's benefits are slightly reduced. One million less at roughly £12.97 m, and that’s down to one less draw in the league phase.
Champions League qualification: The bigger financial prize
The reward for winning the Europa League goes beyond the immediate prize; it also secures a place in the UEFA Champions League group stage the following season. If a team performs well and earns TV rights, it could be valued at more than €50 million for the qualification.
As Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur prepare to face off in the 2025 UEFA Europa League final at Bilbao’s San Mamés Stadium, there is more than silverware at stake. Since both teams have had difficult domestic campaigns, they are 16th and 17th in the Premier League table; winning in Europe this season is critical to salvage their year.
Prize money breakdown: What’s at stake in Bilbao
The winner of the proposed final will get a maximum of £10.95 million, as per talkSPORT, which is almost double the £5.9 million granted to the runner-up. This total includes the £5.9 million for qualifying for the final and an additional £5 million for winning the title.
