Women’s Champions League 2025 prize money: How much is on offer for Arsenal and Barcelona?
THE pinnacle of the women’s football season takes place TODAY!
The biggest game in the calendar is on our doorstep – and Arsenal women have the chance to win their first Champions League title since 2007.
It’s been a very long wait for the Gunners who have had a barren spell in Europe in recent years.
They reached the semis in 2023 but that was their best performance since 2013.
This will also be the first time they have reached the final since that special win under Vic Akers.
Alex Scott, long before she became a fixture on our TV screens, scored the only goal over two legs against Swedish side Umea.
But this is a different task entirely, with Arsenal now facing Barcelona – one of the most dominant sides ever.
This will be the Femeni’s FIFTH consecutive women’s Champions League final, with three wins in the previous four.
They have lost just three matches all season, have already won the Spanish league title and are on for the treble.
Arsenal head coach Renee Slegers will have her work cut out.
What is the Women’s Champions League prize money?
Uefa announced last summer that the total prize pot for the competition remains at €24million (£20.2m), the same figure as last season.
Each club was given a base reward for reaching the competition and there were then bonuses for wins and draws.
Prize money also increased the further a team went into the competition.
The breakdown is as follows:
- Group stage base reward: €400,000
- Group stage win bonus: €50,000
- Group stage draw bonus: €17,000
- Group winner bonus: €20,000
- Quarter-final: €160,000
- Semi-final: €180,000
- Runner-up: €200,000
- Winner: €350,000
How much prize money have Arsenal won?
Arsenal were handed €250k in prize money on top of the €400k base after winning five of their six group-stage matches.
They also earned a €20k bonus for topping the group.
Having reached the final, they have earned a further €340,000.
Total prize money so far: €1,010,000 (approx. £850,000)
Barcelona also won five of their six matches to top the group so have won the exact same amount.
