Fenerbahçe lost the chance to earn a €24.8 million participation fee by being eliminated by Benfica in the UEFA Champions League playoff round. If the yellow-navy team had managed to qualify for the Champions League, this fee would have increased to €29 million.

Fenerbahçe, which lost 1-0 to Benfica in the UEFA Champions League playoff round, extended its Champions League drought to 17 years and missed out on significant revenue.

THEY LOST MONEY

If Fenerbahçe had managed to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League, they would have earned a participation fee of 24.8 million euros. With the 4.29 million euros earned in the playoff round, this amount would have increased to 29 million euros.

Fenerbahçe missed the opportunity to generate more revenue through broadcasting rights and coefficient points. The Yellow-Navy Blues, eliminated by Benfica, will receive 4.29 million euros in 'play-off' revenue. Continuing their European journey in the UEFA Europa League, the Yellow-Navy Blues will earn 4.31 million euros in participation fees.
