Winning tonight’s final match of the Italian Super Cup against a historically rival team like Milan would mean a lot to Inter and its fans. In addition to the glory of the club and satisfaction of winning the first trophy of the season, a victory tonight in Riyadh would also be very important from an economic standpoint.
As highlighted in today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the winner of tonight’s final in the Milan derby will take home a whopping 11 million euros: 1.5 of which will come from a friendly match against the team that will win the Saudi Super Cup, with the date yet to be decided.
On the other hand, 6.7 million euros will go to the team that loses tonight’s final between Inter and Milan. This is a considerable difference in total prizes between those who come first and second in this Italian Super Cup held in Arabia that enriches the participating clubs and the Serie A League.
According to the previously disclosed figures, these new cash prizes take into account not only the revenues from the Serie A League for each team but also the TV rights, sponsorships, and extras like the aforementioned friendly match.
