First Tetra Title and $24 Million at Stake in Thrilling Libertadores Final: Intercontinental and World Glory Await

In a highly anticipated match, Palmeiras and Flamengo will clash on November 29, 2025, at 6 PM in Lima. This final is not just a battle for the Copa Libertadores title. The winner will secure the honor of becoming the first Brazilian club to achieve a fourth championship win.

Financial Stakes and Opportunities

The victory is incredibly lucrative, with a prize purse of $24 million (approximately R$ 128 million) awarded by CONMEBOL for the title. Winning the Libertadores will open more avenues for revenue through international competitions.

Moreover, the new Club World Cup will take place every four years, alongside the annual FIFA tournament, now known as the Intercontinental Cup. The champion of this final will qualify for both prestigious events.

Intercontinental Implications

• The winner will have the opportunity to face Paris Saint-Germain, the current Champions League titleholder.
• The rewards from FIFA remain undisclosed, but last year’s champion earned $5 million (R$ 30.9 million).
• Other prize amounts included $4 million (R$ 24.7 million) for the runner-up.
• Third and fourth places received $2.5 million (R$ 15.5 million) and $1 million (R$ 6.2 million), respectively.

Additionally, the winning club will secure a spot in the 2029 Club World Cup, a significant advantage for attracting talent and fostering long-term planning.

Recent Financial Achievements

Participation in the initial Club World Cup this year also proved financially rewarding. Palmeiras exited in the quarter-finals, earning R$ 216.8 million, while Flamengo departed in the round of 16 with R$ 152 million in earnings.

Upcoming Competitions

An additional chance for increased revenue will arise in the Recopa Sudamericana, scheduled for February 18 and 25, 2026, against Lanús, the victor of the Copa Sudamericana.

While specific prize amounts for the Recopa have yet to be announced, last year’s winner received $2 million (R$ 11.6 million), and the runner-up received $900,000 (R$ 5.2 million).

As the monumental final approaches, excitement builds not only for the prestigious title but also for the enormous financial prospects awaiting the victors of the Libertadores.
