2024 will be the "Year of Super Competitions", with the European Cup, Copa América, African Cup of Nations (AFCON) and Asian Cup being held at the same time this year. Among the four major tournaments, the prize money for the winner of the Copa América is the most favorable, with US$10 million (about HK$78 million), while the Asian Cup is the smallest, with the winning team receiving only US$5 million (about HK$39 million), which is less than that of the AFCON.
The winner of the America's Cup will get US$10 million and the runner-up will get US$5 million. As for the European football world, which has always been known for its generous prizes, the winner of this year's European Cup will get a prize money of 8 million euros (about HK$68 million) and the runner-up will get 5 million euros.
It is worth mentioning that the Europa League has a "progressive bonus", if you keep winning all the matches from the group stage to the final, you can accumulate a maximum of 28.25 million euros (about 240 million Hong Kong dollars) in bonuses.
The prize money for this year's African Cup of Nations has also been increased significantly, with US$7 million (about HK$54.7 million) for the winners, US$4 million for the runners-up, and US$1.3 million each for the 3rd and 4th place teams.
