How Much Money Every Europa League Team Has Made in 2024/25 Competition

The Europa League has almost come to an end, with just Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur left to duke it out in the final on 21 May. The pair overcame Athletic Bilbao and Bodo/Glimt respectively in the semi-final and now just one match stands between them and lifting the trophy. For United, it would mark the first piece of silverware in Ruben Amorim’s reign at Old Trafford. For Spurs, it would be their first trophy in 17 years.

Whether they win the competition or not, though, both sides have made plenty of cash from their runs to the final. Exactly how much money have they made, though? It’s been a fruitful campaign for the pair and now, the numbers have been confirmed and we know just how much they’ve taken home for their exploits in Europe.

Football Meets Data have crunched the numbers and figured out exactly how much money each team has generated from Europe’s second-tier competition so far. With just two clubs left in the competition, the Europa League is close to wrapping up, but here’s how much every team in the tournament has made this year.

36th – 27th

Including Besiktas and OGC Niķce

Despite accumulating five points during the league phase of the tournament and finishing above four other teams, FC RFS have made the least amount of money in this year’s competition. The Latvian side have raked in just over £5 million with Elfsborg and Ludogorets being the only other clubs not to make over £7 million.

OGC Nice, Maccabi Tel-Aviv and Union Saint-Gilloise are just ahead, with £7.4m, £7.9m and £8.1m made respectively. The last three teams in this section and the last three not to make at least £10m are Besiktas (£9.1m), FC Twente (£9.2m) and Anderlecht (£9.6m).

26th – 17th

Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce feature

Jose Mourinho Tottenham

After scraping through the league table phase of the tournament, Jose Mourinho’s Fenerbahce were eliminated quite early, but they still managed to make £13.6m before they were sent packing. Narrowly below them is FC Midtjylland, who earned £13.4m, while Viktoria Plzen, Braga and PAOK come next, with £12.5m, £11.8m and £11.6m respectively.

Next, it’s Dynamo Kyiv and Malmo FF, with the former making £11.02m, while the latter earned £10.9m. Not much separates Steaua Bucharest (£10.7m), Hoffenheim (£10.6m), Ferencvarosi (£10.5m) and Qarabag (£10.4m), who all round out this section.

16th – 7th

Lyon, Rangers, Roma and Ajax miss out on top 6

After a dramatic showdown with Manchester United in the quarter-final, Lyon were eliminated from the Europa League, but they made a pretty penny (£19.3m) from their run in the competition. Just below them are Rangers, Roma and Ajax, who all made £17.7m, £17.6m and £17.4m respectively from their time in the tournament.

Olympiacos (£16.6m), Real Sociedad (£16.1m) and Galatasaray (£15.7m) are the last teams to make above £15m, but they were all eliminated from the competition before the quarter-finals. The last three teams in this section are AZ Alkmaar, Slavia Prague and Porto, who all earned £14.7m, £14.3m and £14.1m respectively, before they were knocked out of the tournament.

6th – 1st

Manchester United and Tottenham the top earners

Manchester United (£30.8m) and Tottenham (£30m) have made more money than any other side in the Europa League as a result of their reaching the final. The Premier League giants saw off Athletic Bilbao and Bodo/Gimt to make it to the final and now one of them will lift the trophy, despite disappointing campaigns domestically.

FK Bodo/Glimt made it to the semi-final of the tournament and have made the third most money, taking home £22.4m so far. Lazio were eliminated in the quarter-final, but they made plenty of money (£20.7m) before they were knocked out. Athletic Club (£20.5m) made it one stage further, but are fifth.

Tied with the La Liga club, though, is Eintracht Frankfurt who were knocked out of the Europa League by Tottenham in the quarter-final.
