Olympiacos made history by qualifying for the conference league final. This is the money he got and what awaits him in the final.
The evening of May 9, 2024 will forever be recorded in Olympiacos history, as the red and white team beat Aston Villa 2-0 at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium to qualify for the Conference League final, becoming the second Greek team to reach the European final after the World Cup. Panathinaikos had an equally impressive Champions Cup win in the 1970-71 season which took them all the way to Wembley.
The financial benefits to Olympiacos from their historic run in the conference league are enormous and they have already received an eight-figure sum.
The Red and White team started collecting 100,000 for their participation in the third qualifying round for the European League. Qualification to the playoffs did not generate income, because they automatically got groups (of the European Conference League) even if they were eliminated.
In the end they qualified and thus received £3,630,000 (£3,400,000 being paid as an advance and a £230,000 tranche) as a bonus for being in the Europa League groups.
In this round, Piraeus recorded two wins over West Ham and Baka Topola that brought in 1,260,000 spectators and a draw in Serbia that brought in 210,000 spectators.
3,432,000 entered their coffers, as a result of their presence in European competitions for ten years, which was the seventh best place among 32 groups in the group stage, and the result was that they collected 26 “shares” worth 132,000 each.
To the approximately 8,500,000 of the Europa League must be added the funds of the market pool, which are estimated at approximately 1,000,000.
From there, the harvest of the European League begins. Participation in the round of 16 qualifiers is equivalent to a bonus of 300 thousand pounds and participation in the round of 16 brings double the money to the coffers of Piraeus.
Participation in the quarter-finals brought Olympiacos one million euros, while his presence in the semi-finals brought two million euros. Just qualifying for the final brings another 3,000,000 euros.
