Despite the defeat against Fluminense in the final, Xeneize pocketed millions of dollars for his participation in the continental competition.
Boca were left empty-handed in the grand final of the 2023 Copa Libertadores due to the defeat against Fluminense. But, and although this is no consolation, Xeneize’s major participation in the continental competition meant an enormous financial return in prizes.
The current edition of the Libertadores is the one that distributed the most money to the participating clubs, with 21% more money available through CONMEBOL, and the first to give a bonus per match won in the group stage. For this reason, the Ribera team arrived at the Maracaná with more money in their coffers than Fluminense (they won one more match in their zone).
How much money did Boca win in prizes in the 2023 Copa Libertadores?
From the start of his participation until the run-up to the grand final, Boca entered its treasury with 9 million 450 thousand dollars and the number extended to 16,450,000 for the fall against flu.
- Group Stage: US$3,000,000
- 4 matches won in the group stage: US$1,200,000
- Round of 16: US$1,250,000
- Quarter-finals: US$1,700,000
- Semi-finals: US$2,300,000
- Final: US$7,000,000
How much money would Boca have made in prizes if he became 2023 Copa Libertadores champions
The current edition is the one that will award the largest financial prize in history to the winner of the final $18 million. For this reason, if Xeneize were crowned in the Maracaná, they would have collected a total of $27,450,000, more than any other champion has won to date (the current record is held by Flamengo, who entered 25,050,000 in 2022).
