•Financial impact for clubs.💲

It's no lie that football moves a large amount of money, in recent years alone the value of all Conmebol prizes has been increased to more than 1.5 billion reais. Eliminated clubs receive around US$400,000 per stage played, while teams in the group stage earn at least US$3 million whether they advance to the knockouts or not. Teams that are in the knockout stages (Eighths, Quarters, etc.) have their value increased according to their progress.

The money earned has extreme value for each club, as it adds to the finances, allowing the purchase of high-level players, leading to entry into major championships and thus maintaining a good income in the coming seasons. Remembering that the team that wins the title will take US$23 million (R$ 133.6 million at current prices) just by winning the championship.


•Impact on the host city: 


With the arrival of thousands of fans from Brazil to Argentina, tourism is moving at a very high level. There will be an additional 70,000 fans to watch the game from both participating teams, meaning local commerce and hotel services will be greatly mobilized, generating an increase in the number of jobs.

Furthermore, according to data from the travel agency Decolar, interest in flights to Buenos Aires between the 30th and 1st of November rose 352% over the previous week.
Even with the flight option, some fans chose to travel by bus and some even by car.

Where to watch?


The match will be broadcast on TV Globo at 4pm and on Globoplay (streaming). On cable TV it will be broadcast on ESPN and will have the signal bounced on Disney+ and Paramount+ (Both streaming).

OBS:Order and Respect in Stadiums!!!


Stadiums are amazing places full of emotion, but it’s important to keep order and respect so everyone can enjoy them. Respecting fans, teams, and staff makes all the difference.
Cheering with joy, without disrespecting anyone, is what makes sports even more beautiful!
