Premier League's Spurs set to take the field for a £4.3m match in the upcoming season
In the world of European football, the UEFA Super Cup is a highly anticipated event that brings together the champions of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League. This year, the spotlight is on Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as they prepare to face off in the 2025 UEFA Super Cup.
Both teams have already secured a guaranteed €4 million (approximately £3.4 million) each for their participation in the match. However, PSG has an additional opportunity to earn an €1 million (£0.8 million) bonus if they manage to secure a victory. This prize money distribution is in line with UEFA's structure for the Super Cup, where the runner-up receives €4 million, and the winner receives €5 million[1][2][3][5].
Historically, the UEFA Super Cup has seen similar financial rewards for the winning and runner-up teams. The total prize fund for the Super Cup, while significant, is relatively small compared to larger UEFA competitions like the Champions League or Europa League[2]. For instance, in the 2024/25 season, the total UEFA Super Cup prize fund was €9 million, representing only about 0.27% of UEFA's total club competition prize money allocations[2].
As for Tottenham Hotspur, they qualified for the Super Cup by winning the Europa League. The final was an all-English match between Tottenham and Manchester United, with Tottenham emerging victorious with a score of 1-0[6]. This win not only secured them a place in the Super Cup but also earned them an estimated worth of £124 million[4].
In the upcoming Super Cup, Thomas Frank, who joined Tottenham Hotspur from Brentford in June, will have the opportunity to win a trophy on his first competitive game as Spurs manager[7]. The match is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, with the venue being the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, Italy[8].
Meanwhile, PSG are the reigning Uefa Champions League holders, having defeated Inter Milan 5-0 in the final[5]. As the Super Cup pits the Champions League winner against the Europa League winner, it promises to be a thrilling encounter between two powerhouse teams.
In addition to the Super Cup, Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with transfer targets Eberechi Eze and Savinho[9]. The forthcoming season promises to be an exciting one for Tottenham fans, as they look to build on their Europa League triumph and challenge for more silverware.
