"The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) will distribute a total of €21 million among the four participating teams. However, the distribution is not equal, with Barcelona sitting at the top of the pay scale alongside Real Madrid, reports COPE. Regardless of what happens on the pitch, Barcelona are guaranteed a significant payday. The Blaugrana, like Real Madrid, will pocket a fixed fee of over €6 million just for participating."
"In comparison, Atletico Madrid will receive a fixed sum of €2 million, while tonight's opponents, Athletic Club, are guaranteed just €850,000. Beyond the fixed fees, sporting success brings further rewards. If Barcelona manage to lift the trophy on Sunday, they will earn an additional €2 million in prize money, taking their potential total earnings for the week to over €8 million."
"Even falling short in the final is profitable, with the runner-up set to receive an extra €1.4 million. For the two teams eliminated in the semi-finals, there is a consolation prize of €850,000 each. But Barcelona's goal will be to win the tournament and secure the maximum prize money of €8 million, which could go a long way in aiding the club's economic health, especially as the club are on the verge of announcing Joao Cancelo later this week."
FC Barcelona face Athletic Club in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal with both sporting and economic objectives. The Royal Spanish Football Federation will distribute €21 million among the four participants, with unequal shares reflecting historical prestige and television rights value. Barcelona and Real Madrid receive a fixed fee of over €6 million each, Atletico Madrid receives €2 million, and Athletic Club €850,000. Tournament prizes include €2 million for the winner, €1.4 million for the runner-up, and €850,000 for each semifinalist. Securing the €8 million maximum would significantly aid Barcelona's finances and support imminent moves such as Joao Cancelo's arrival.
