Inter claimed the double after beating Lazio 2-0 in Wednesday’s Coppa Italia final in a game that earned both sides several million in prize money. The victory marked Inter's 10th Coppa Italia trophy and capped off a remarkable season for the club. The final, played at the Stadio Olimpico, set a new record for the highest matchday takings for a Coppa Italia final with gate receipts of €5,636,918.50.
Prize Money Breakdown
In terms of prize money, Inter have earned a total of €7.1m from their 2025-26 Coppa Italia campaign. They received a bonus of €4.4m for winning Wednesday’s final, on top of the €1.5m they earned for reaching the semi-final, the €800,000 that came their way for reaching the quarter-finals and the €400,000 they earned from taking part in the round of 16. Lazio, meanwhile, earned a total of €4.6m from the cup this season, with €1.9m coming from their runner-up finish.
Viewing Records
Wednesday’s final set both positive and negative viewing records. While the matchday takings were the highest ever, the final was also the least viewed since the final became a single-legged match in 2008. This could be due to a variety of factors, including the teams involved and the timing of the match.
TV Revenues
Both sides will also receive a share of the TV revenues from Wednesday’s final, but the exact amount has not yet been confirmed and is unlikely to be formalised before the end of the 2025-26 season. This additional revenue will further boost the finances of both clubs, providing them with more resources to invest in their squads and facilities.
Inter's victory in the Coppa Italia final is a testament to their strength and depth as a team, and the significant prize money they earned will be a major boost to their finances. Lazio, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their runner-up finish, but the €4.6m they earned will still be a welcome addition to their coffers. The record-breaking matchday takings are a positive sign for the Coppa Italia, demonstrating its enduring popularity and financial viability.
The significant prize money earned by Inter and Lazio will have implications for their future transfer dealings and squad building. Inter's victory also cements their position as one of the top teams in Italy, while Lazio will look to regroup and challenge for major honors again next season. The Coppa Italia's record-breaking matchday takings will also be a welcome boost to the Italian football authorities, who will look to build on this success in future seasons.
