Copa América prize money
CONMEBOL pays £54.1m to the 16 teams at the 2024 Copa América, and £1,503,759 of it goes to every one of them before a ball is kicked. The rest is settled by how far a team gets: £12,030,075 for winning it, nothing more for going out in the group stage.
A team is paid once, for where it finished. The band is the whole of it rather than a step on the way to it, so a team beaten in the quarter-finals collects £1,503,759 and not that plus every band below it.

What each band pays out between its teams
How far each band got
The bottom band pays nothing. The 8 teams going out in the group stage collect the £1,503,759 for taking part and no more, whether they lost all three group matches or missed out on goal difference.

The band is the whole of it. Argentina are paid £13,533,834 for winning it, the payment for taking part included, rather than that on top of every band below, which is what makes the 16 figures in this table add up to the £54,135,330 paid out.
