"The relocation of the Spanish Super Cup to Saudi Arabia served to improve the competition's brand in Asia, but the major factor behind the switch was the financial upgrade. Scheduling the event in the Middle East has helped both the federation and individual participating clubs secure more money, even for mere participation. Needless to say, however, progressing further in the event leads to better payouts with the eventual champions taking home a relative fortune."
"As confirmed by Diario AS in a recent update, the total prize sum in 2025 was around €19 million but has been upgraded to €21.3 million this time around. In total, a sum of €16.3 million has already been disbursed to the teams involved for merely travelling to attend the event. When the participation pool was €14.95 million last year, Barcelona pocketed €6 million and all signs point to this year's payout being higher."
"The winner of the Spanish Super Cup this time will earn an additional sum of €2 million while the runner-up will only receive €1.4 million. While the difference is not significant, every penny counts for Barcelona given the financial situation they are in. The total sum Barcelona can walk away with at the end of the event, thus, stands at a whopping €8 million as a confirmed amount, and will surely be higher given the improved pool for participation."
Relocation to Saudi Arabia prioritized financial gains while also improving the competition's brand in Asia. Scheduling in the Middle East produced larger participation payments for the federation and clubs, with €16.3 million already disbursed for travel and attendance. The total prize pool rose from about €19 million in 2025 to €21.3 million. Barcelona previously received €6 million when the participation pool was €14.95 million and can expect a higher payout now, potentially around €7 million. The winner earns an additional €2 million and the runner-up €1.4 million, leaving Barcelona with confirmed totals of €8 million if victorious or €7.4 million if defeated.
