FCB brings in so much money

98 min in Nice: A perfect cross from Darian Males, a well-placed header from Kasim Adams – and FC Basel is two million francs richer. There’s so much from UEFA as a bonus to reaching the conference league semi-finals.

By reaching the final four, Basel has broken the double-digit million mark: premiums of CHF 10.9 million have been collected since the start of the European Cup journey in July 2022. More than three million for reaching the group stage, just under two million for the eleven points in the group stage and just over four for progressing three times in the knockout phase. There are also 1.3 million from the coefficient pool.

Money that red-blue can use well. In 2022 there was a loss of 1.2 million, there are no more reserves. From 2025, according to the plan of President David Degen and the board of directors, FCB should be self-sufficient. Until then you are dependent on European Championship income, transfer income and personal contributions to cover losses.

The more than ten million for the semi-finals of the Conference League help enormously. And maybe there will be more: if FCB knocks out Fiorentina in the semifinals, another three million will be added. And whoever wins the final in Prague at the beginning of June will receive a title bonus of two million in addition to a lot of prestige. “We want more, now the title is the goal,” says FCB top scorer Males. At best, another five million will flow into the account.

In addition to the UEFA bonuses, there is also the viewing income, which will also run into the millions thanks to the likely sold-out St. Jakob Park in Fiorentina’s home game. And last but not least the increase in the value of the players: as a European Cup semi-finalist, FCB can now easily demand a double-digit million sum for storm jewel Zeki Amdouni, the hottest transfer iron of red-blue.
