ENGLISH FA CUP: HOW MUCH DO CLUBS EARN FROM THE COMPETITION


ENGLISH FA CUP: HOW MUCH DO CLUBS EARN FROM THE COMPETITION


Another round of English FA Cup is here, where the current league leader Manchester City is away to take on league 2, 15th placed Newport County at Rodney Parade stadium, while the biggest match of the fifth round is a repeat of 2018 FA cup final showdown between defending champion Chlesea fc and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Monday 18th of February.  The competition which is otherwise known as The Emirates Cup, the oldest national football competition in the world, little is however known about the total money earned by the eventual winner or the participating teams.  Here, at Sportinomics, we brings you the details of the payment, listed round by round for this year 2016/2019 FA cup
With over 360 participating teams in the competition, it is believed that the money earned by the eventual winner should be bogus. However, the research shows that the winner of this year will go with a paltry sum of roughly £7m depending on the eventual winner, this dwarfed by the English Premier league prize winner who earned roughly £160m in the last season championship.

Semi final winners.                                    2       £1,800,000
Final runners-up                                       1    £1,800,000
Final winner.                                               1                  £3,600,000
Therefore, aside the prestige and “Giant Killing” moment, you can now understand why the teams prioritize the survival in the Premier league over the winning of a trophy like FA and Carabao Cup, it is basically peanuts compared to participating in the Premier league.
