The Barcelona women’s team is closing in on a significant million-dollar bonus from Nike, something the men’s team was unable to achieve this season. The prize, valued at 3 million euros, the equivalent of around R$17 million at the current price, will be awarded if the players win the women’s Champions League title this Saturday (23). The decision will be played against OL Lyonnes.
Esta contractual clause of Nike, the Catalan club’s sports supplier, extends until 2038 and establishes the same bonus value for winning the Champions for both men’s and women’s football. The opportunity to win this jackpot now falls exclusively to the women’s team, after the performance of the men’s team.
Bônus millionaire from Nike guarantees equality in the contract
The sponsorship partnership between Nike and Barcelona, renewed with a projection until 2038, consolidated a policy of equity in awards related to performance at Champions League. Este agreement guarantees that women’s achievements are valued financially at the same level as men’s eventual victories in the main European tournament. Tal measure reflects a growing trend of recognition and investment in women’s football. The expectation is that this bonus will not only reward sporting success, but also strengthen the club’s financial structure for future seasons, further boosting the development of the sport.
Men’s Eliminação paved the way for the Blaugrana
The men’s team of Barcelona, under the command of coach Hansi Flick, was eliminated in the quarterfinals of Champions League after being overcome by Atlético of Madrid. Essa’s defeat ended the men’s chances of pocketing the million-dollar bonus stipulated in the contract with Nike, even after winning the LALIGA title. With this, the responsibility and opportunity to guarantee the injection of 3 million euros into the club’s coffers falls entirely on the women’s Barcelona. The cast, led by Pere Romeu, is determined to fulfill this mission.
UEFA Premiação complements total campaign values
Além of Nike’s potential bonus, the women’s Barcelona has already accumulated a considerable amount in UEFA prizes for its campaign in the women’s Champions League. Até At the moment, the club has already raised 1.55 million euros, approximately R$9.1 million. The victory of “Orelhuda” this Saturday will add another 500 thousand euros to the UEFA prize pool.
The detailed amounts paid by UEFA until the decision are made are:
- Participação:505 thousand euros
- 1st place in the league phase:180 thousand euros
- For five victories:300 thousand euros
- For a draw:20 thousand euros
- Bônus by knockout stage to semi-final:550 thousand euros
- Total raised to date:1.55 million euros (R$9.1 million)
Confronto decisive against OL Lyonnes will define the amount
The women’s Champions League grand final will be a clash of the titans between Barcelona and OL Lyonnes, two of the most dominant teams on the European scene. The game is scheduled for this Saturday (23), starting at 1 pm (Brasília time). The exclusive broadcast for Brasil will take place on Plano Premium of Disney+. Este’s clash will not only decide the most coveted title in continental women’s football, but will also decide the fate of Nike’s significant bonus and the UEFA prize pool complement for the winning club.
