The Huge Prize Money Gap Between the Champion of the Copa do Brasil and the Copa Argentina
Flamengo won the cup in Brazil, and it was revealed that they received an economic prize of nearly $18 million, which is over 100 times greater than the prize for the Copa Argentina champion, as the Argentine tournament awards around $168,000.
The Copa do Brasil is on par with major national cups in Europe (FA Cup, Coppa Italia, and Copa del Rey) and for many seasons awarded more money than the CONMEBOL Libertadores.
