AIn addition to the sporting achievement that it meant for the Betis conquer last Saturday the third Copa del Rey of its history, imposing itself on the Valencia in an agonizing penalty shootout, the Verdiblanco club left the La Cartuja Stadium With an important loot under his arm in terms of economic performance, which will come in handy to continue cleaning up his accounts.
In this 2021-22 edition of the KO tournament, the team from Pellegrini has raised approximately three million euros, which are divided into different items. The main one, related to the box office of their home games. The Verdiblancos entered nearly one and a half million euros for the ‘ticketing’ of their clashes against Seville in the round of 16 and the Vallecano Ray in the quarterfinals, the only ones who played in the Benito Villamarin.
To this figure they will add approximately another 800,000 euros more from the benefits of the grand final of Charterhouse. This amount is calculated by adding all the income generated by the match, subtracting all the expenses and dividing the result in three equal parts between the two finalist clubs, Betis Y Valencia in this case, and the Real spanish soccer federation. In the last final with the public played in 2019 at the Benito Villamarin the distribution was approximately 600,000 euros for each team and the RFEF and this time the amount will be higher due to the higher price of the tickets.
Besides, the Federation distributes amounts among the participating clubs in the Cup which are calculated based on their sporting merits (results of each team in the last five editions of the tournament) and what is known as social impact. In this concept, the Betis could receive approximately 760,000 euros more, approximately, after being crowned champion (curiously, less than the other finalist, who has better results in previous editions).

Finally, there is another concept that is more difficult to quantify, but whose impact can be notable for the Betis depending on the market. The growth in the value of its squad after being crowned champions and certifying an extraordinary season, to which it could still put a icing on the cake if it gets into Champions, will allow the Verdiblanco club to reach the summer with many footballers who are the object of desire of several highly revalued teams. With a necessary income of around 30 million to square accounts, perhaps they only need to sell a footballer to go ahead with their plan.
