Conmebol announced that, for the first time, prizes will be distributed to the teams that manage to win their matches in the group stage
.
The measure will run for both the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana and will mean an important economic motivation as well as a large income for those clubs that manage to add three units.
"The prizes for matches won will generate more competitive matches and more attractive tournaments
," said its owner Alejandro Domínguez.
In the Libertadores,
the sum will be $300,000 per victory.
In other words, if a team manages to win the 6 matches corresponding to the group stage, it will be able to pocket up to $1,800,000.
For its part, the South American will have $100,000 as an incentive for winning.
With this reform, the mother house of South American football will distribute 301,000,000 dollars between its two competitions.
This means an increase of 21% in relation to 2022 and, translated into money, an increase of 57,000,000 dollars.
Beyond the enormous prestige of participating in tournaments, the financial aspect cannot be overlooked.
For the group stage of the Libertadores, which will begin in April, each club will receive 3 million dollars.
While the Copa Sudamericana distributes $900,000 for group participation.

Finally,
