PUEDES VER: When and where will the Copa Sudamericana 2023 final be?
It is no secret that Universitario carries debts from its previous administrations, therefore, being in the Sudamericana fits them perfectly since the CONMEBOL tournament offers very good economic rewards at each stage.
And it is that just by overcoming the preliminary phase by defeating Cienciano, the 'U' won $225,000. Now, already in the group stage, they have just secured another $900,000. But how much would they win if they advance to the round of 16?
What Universitario will win if they reach the Sudamericana round of 16
The first-placed teams of each group of the Copa Sudamericana will qualify for the round of 16. In addition, there will be a playoff that will pit the runners-up of the tournament against those who finish in third place in the Libertadores; the winner of this match will advance to the next stage of the aforementioned championship.
For this 2023 edition, it has been stipulated to pay $500,000 to those who go to the playoffs and $550,000 to those who directly reach the round of 16. This is what Universitario could win if they reach this stage.
