The Euros and the Copa América are two of the main national team competitions in the world, and both are happening now in June.
With the competitions underway, the question remains, which national team tournament provides the most financial return to the champions?
How is the distribution of the prize money done?
The prize money is determined based on the revenues generated by the tournaments, meaning the higher the earnings, the greater the prize that will be paid out to the national teams.
The Euros have an advantage in the prize money, as they have a revenue of €2.4 billion (R$14 billion), and will distribute €331 million (R$1.9 billion) in prizes among the 24 participating teams.
The Copa América, on the other hand, generates around $600 million (R$3.3 billion) in revenue and will distribute $72 million (R$396 million) among the 16 teams.
