The Liga de Quito team not only reaps sporting successes in this Copa Sudamericana, in which it was already among the top four in the tournament, but also accumulates economic prizes that any club would want in its coffers.
For the 2023 season, Conmebol increased by 30% the total number of millions that it distributes among all the participants of the Copa Sudamericana.
Since the local phase, in which Liga de Quito beat Delfín de Manta, the tournament organizer has already awarded USD 250,000 per home and away game. Only there the U obtained half a million dollars.
Already in the group stage, each participant obtained USD 900,000. But for this year, Conmebol added an additional value of USD 100,000 for each match won as an incentive for “sports merit.”
As Liga de Quito won three games in the group stage, it added USD 1,200,000 to the half million it had already won in the local stage.
In the run-up to the round of 16, in the playoffs, Conmebol gave each team USD 500,000, but it should be remembered that since Liga de Quito won, their group did not play that phase, they went directly to the round of 16 and there added $550,000.
When the U left Ñublense behind and advanced to the quarterfinals, it added another USD 600,000 and for having reached the semifinal, leaving Sao Paulo on the road, it earned USD 800,000 more.

Until then, the Liga de Quito accounts in this Copa Sudamericana add up to USD 3,650,000. And you can keep accumulating more.
How much could the South American champion earn?
Liga de Quito must now play the semifinals against the Argentine club Defensa y Justicia. In accordance with what has already been established by Conmebol, the team that advances to the final ensures a minimum amount of USD 2 million “in the worst case”, which would be to be runner-up.
While the team that wins the Copa Sudamericana, as Liga de Quito already did (in 2009), Conmebol will give a prize of USD 5 million, so the Liga de Quito ceiling, in case of going to the final and come out champion, it would be USD 8,6,500,000.
It is worth noting that the champion of the Copa Sudamericana will also dispute the purse assigned to the Cup Winners’ Cup (USD 2.7 million) and automatically becomes creditor to the amounts for participation in the group stage of the Libertadores the following year, which are higher in compared to this tournament.
Just to remind you, in 2023, Conmebol paid USD 3 million to each participating team in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores and offered an additional incentive of USD 300,000 for each match won in that instance.
So as Liga de Quito progresses in this Copa Sudamericana, in search of sporting glory, its finances may continue to strengthen.
