The Europa League final unfolded in Budapest, Hungary, with Sevilla and AS Roma clashing for a coveted European crown. The Spaniards arrived at the showpiece hoping to cap a challenging season with a triumph that would echo across their storied history in the competition, while Roma chased a European title for the second year running after their Conference League victory last season. When the shootout whistle blew after a tense 90 minutes and extra time, Sevilla emerged victorious on penalties, adding another dramatic chapter to their European exploits.
What prize money did Sevilla receive for winning the 2023 Europa League?
Sevilla claimed the Europa League title, securing a significant winner’s prize of 4 million euros. Beyond the final win, the club’s overall earnings for the season reflect its deep participation in European competition. Their involvement in the Champions League group stage and their run through the Europa League knockout rounds contributed a substantial amount, typically ranging between 20 and 25 million euros for a campaign with Champions League involvement and advancing through multiple rounds in the Europa League. In some accounts, the Champions League appearance alone accounts for around 15 million euros in prize money, bonuses, and coefficients, highlighting how a club balances European routes across seasons.
In addition to the prize money tied to the win, the title also guarantees Sevilla a place in the next Europa League winner’s bracket that nurtured their success this season and secures qualification for the next season’s Champions League path for the eventual Europa League champions. The practical sporting reward remains the right to compete at the highest level in Europe again, which is often accompanied by commercial and broadcast benefits that compound the overall value of a European campaign.
According to Goal, these figures reflect a broader structure where clubs earn through a mix of direct prize money, performance bonuses, and market-driven coefficients tied to their domestic and European performances across seasons. The precise totals can vary slightly depending on the competition format in a given year and the club’s multipliers from successive campaigns.
