“The Executive Council authorized me and us to be able to reach up to an amount of 300 million dollars. When we started in 2016, the total it distributed was 70 million dollars,” added Domínguez.
The head of Conmebol explained that there will be a payment for “participation and sports merit”, as well as a bonus for the winning team in each match of 300 thousand dollars.
“This will happen to the rest of the stages. The champion could accumulate almost 30 million dollars in Libertadores and almost 10 and a half million in South America”, pointed out Domínguez.
“It is good news. At the level of club competitions, of confederations, in the world, it makes the Libertadores, by a narrow margin, the third highest paying championship in the world. We are moving forward, there is still more to do, soccer is the true protagonist and we are here for the Conmebol era to begin”, closed the Paraguayan leader. According to Conmebol, there will be a 23% increase in pay compared to last year.
The 2023 Copa Libertadores will feature Boca, Racing, River, Argentinos, Patronato and Huracán (the second phase will start) and the 2023 Copa Sudamericana will have Gimnasia LP, Defensa y Justicia, Tigre, Newell’s, Estudiantes LP and San Lorenzo.
Meanwhile, Boca will be the Argentine representative in the women’s Copa Libertadores 2023.
