The Rangers are set to face off against Fenerbahce in the Europa League, and a win could have significant financial implications for the Scottish club. The Rangers are currently in a strong position in the competition, and a victory over Fenerbahce would not only boost their chances of advancing to the next round but also bring in a substantial amount of revenue.
According to UEFA’s prize money structure, the Rangers would earn a minimum of €1 million (approximately £850,000) for participating in the group stage of the Europa League. However, if they were to win their match against Fenerbahce, they would earn an additional €500,000 (approximately £425,000) in prize money.
Furthermore, a win would also increase the Rangers’ chances of advancing to the knockout stages of the competition, which would bring in even more revenue. The winners of each group stage match earn €2.5 million (approximately £2.1 million), while the runners-up earn €1.2 million (approximately £1 million).
In addition to the prize money, the Rangers would also earn revenue from television broadcasting rights. The Europa League is broadcast in over 200 countries around the world, and the Rangers would receive a share of the broadcasting revenue for their participation in the competition.
It’s estimated that the Rangers could earn an additional £1-2 million in broadcasting revenue if they were to advance to the knockout stages of the competition. This would bring their total earnings from the Europa League to around £5-6 million, a significant boost to the club’s finances.
Overall, a win against Fenerbahce would not only be a significant achievement for the Rangers on the pitch but also a major financial boost for the club. With the potential to earn up to £6 million in prize money and broadcasting revenue, the Rangers have a lot to play for in their upcoming match.
