Olympiacos: How Much Money Will the Reds Earn by Reaching the Champions League Round of 16?

Olympiacos is on the verge of qualifying for the Champions League Round of 16 after 12 years. This qualification will bring a significant financial benefit to the team, estimated at 11 million euros, in addition to the 43.151 million euros it has already secured from its journey in this year’s top club competition. The total amount raised by Olympiacos exceeds that of the other three Greek teams that participated in European competitions (PAOK, Panathinaikos, AEK). The crucial match against Bayer Leverkusen will be held at “G. Karaiskakis” on Wednesday, February 18th, with live coverage from MEGA and COSMOTE SPORT 2 HD. Victory will ensure Olympiacos’ entry into the next stage and further strengthen its finances. If Olympiacos manages to overcome the obstacle of Bayer Leverkusen, it will receive an additional 11 million euros. The potential financial rewards for the team, depending on its progress in the Champions League, are as follows: 12.5 million euros for reaching the quarter-finals, 15 million euros for reaching the semi-finals, 18 million euros for reaching the final and an additional 6.5 million euros for the winner.
