Conmebol increases prizes in all its continental competitions in 2022

Conmebol will increase the prizes in all the continental competitions that it will organize in 2022 and will focus on the women’s Libertadores, whose winning team will receive US $ 1.5 million.

This was announced by the president of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol), Alejandro Domínguez, through a video in which he highlighted everything that happened in 2021 with the finals of the women’s Libertadores, the South American Cup and the Libertadores Cup, which they were held in Montevideo.

In addition to congratulating all the champions and even Uruguay for being an “excellent host”, Domínguez announced the increases in the prizes that he described as a “historical record” since they exceed the US $ 244 million distributed.

Specifically, those who pass the first phase of the Libertadores will receive US $ 400,000, those who pass the second will have US $ 500,000 and those who exceed the third US $ 600,000.

Likewise, the champion of the men’s Libertadores will receive US $ 16 million along with 25% of the proceeds from the final, so, according to Domínguez, if the champion starts the competition in phase 1 “he may accumulate” more than US $ $ 25 million.

The champion of the Sudamericana will go on to win US $ 5 million and the champion of the Recopa – a competition that faces the winner of the Sudamericana and that of the Libertadores – will win US $ 1.6 million.

Domínguez emphasized that “for the first time” Conmebol “bet strongly on women’s football” because the champions will receive US $ 1.5 million and the runners-up US $ 500,000.

“It undoubtedly shows the commitment we are making as Conmebol to strengthen all football in all its forms, in both genders,” said the president, adding that, if they manage to give back “to football what football is,” South America will recover his identity and return to “conquer the world.”
