Colombia and Argentina will face off in the Copa América championship match. In addition to the trophy, both countries will be competing for the huge amount of money CONMEBOL has decided to award the victor.
After conquering the tournament in 2021, Argentina just beat Canada 2-0 to go to the Copa America final for the second time in a row. Colombia advanced to the final after defeating Uruguay 1-0 in an exciting contest.
Only by competing in the oldest national team competition in the world, each team gets US$ 2 million from CONMEBOL. As they go through the round, the economic prize will increase.
How much money for the winner of the Copa America 2024?
Teams competing in this tournament will receive record entrance fees and prizes totaling $72 million; the winner will get $16 million in the same currency.
A $2 million participation fee will be awarded to each of the 16 teams; the remaining $40 million will be up for grabs as prizes.
The Argentine national team has earned around $80 million in monetary prizes in the previous three years. That sum might increase if they win over Colombia in the Copa América final on Sunday at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium.
In addition to their successful cycle, the "Scaloneta" have had significant financial advantages since winning the Copa América in Brazil in 2021.
Their 1-0 victory over Brazil in the Maracanã final back then brought them close to $14 million in revenue: $10 million for winning the tournament, $2 million for participating, and an additional $2 million for advancing past the group stage and quarterfinals.
