If Tottenham wins in the European competition, it is expected to see tremendous financial benefits.
Tottenham is set to face Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany) in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the 2024-2025 UEFA Europa League (UEL) on the 11th at 4 a.m. (Korea time) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
This is a critical match for Tottenham this season. They are currently sitting in 14th place in the league, and after being eliminated from both the Carabao Cup (EFL Cup) and the Football Association (FA) Cup, Tottenham is experiencing its worst season in history. The only hopeful path for them is the Europa League.
Tottenham, led by manager Ange Postecoglou, is fully committed to winning the Europa League. Safeguarding his future is at stake, as well as whether Tottenham will compete in European competitions next season.
According to 'Football London' on the 10th, Tottenham has secured a significant prize by reaching the quarterfinals of the Europa League. First, each of the 36 teams participating in this season's league phase received £3.64 million (approximately 6.8 billion won).
Tottenham has accumulated an additional £2.147 million (approximately 4 billion won) by securing 5 wins and 2 draws in the league phase's eight matches. The team received £379,000 (approximately 700 million won) for each victory, and £126,000 (approximately 200 million won) for each draw.
They also benefited from rewards based on their league phase ranking. Tottenham, finishing 4th, advanced to the Round of 16 and received £2.092 million (approximately 3.9 billion won). They additionally earned a bonus of £500,000 (approximately 900 million won) for being among the top eight teams. With their advancement to the Round of 16, they added another £1.47 million (approximately 2.8 billion won).
By defeating AZ Alkmaar to reach the quarterfinals, Tottenham received £2.11 million (approximately 4 billion won). Up to this point, Tottenham has secured £11.959 million (approximately 22.5 billion won) in this tournament.
If Tottenham defeats Frankfurt as well and advances to the semifinals, they will receive an additional £3.54 million (approximately 6.7 billion won). Furthermore, if they reach the finals, they will be awarded £5.9 million (approximately 11.1 billion won). If they win the championship, Tottenham can accrue an additional £5 million (approximately 9.4 billion won).
Ultimately, Tottenham has earned £11.959 million so far, but if they win the championship, it means they would gain up to £14.49 million (approximately 27.3 billion won) more. This means they could potentially generate about £26.5 million (approximately 49.8 billion won) in revenue from this tournament.
Winning the Europa League for Tottenham also implies securing a spot in next season's Champions League. If participation in the Champions League can yield £50 million (approximately 94.1 billion won) in revenue, then winning the Europa League effectively secures about £80 million (approximately 150.6 billion won). It's curious to see if Tottenham's last gamble, which is linked to Son Heung-min's trophy, will pay off.
