The data that AEK will face in the category “rate money” (UEFA’s 10-year rating) – provided of course it excludes her Antwerp (30/8, 22:00) and qualify for the Champions League groups – analyzed the Andreas Dimitos.
The Media Consultant of the European Federation explained that its participation Lance in the groups (and of the last place that the French club will have in the 10-year coefficient), will raise the “Union” to the 31st place (of the teams that will be in the “32”) and will guarantee it +1.137 million euros. In fact, if they also qualify Panathinaikos, Maccabi Haifa and Rakovteams that will be below AEK in the coefficient, then the doubles of Greece will secure up to 5.685 million euros from… the famous market pool (where, as Andreas Dimatos explained, it is determined at 65% of the 10-year rate).
So, AEK not only strongly refused Lance’s offer of money for him Levi Garciabut in the end he will also receive… a bonus thanks to her if he qualifies over the Belgians.
In detail, the post of Andreas Dimatos:
AEK may have turned down Lance’s (lots of) money for the sale of Levi Garcia, but if they can qualify for the UEFA Champions League groups by knocking out Antwerp on Wednesday, they won’t be able to deny the French club a special.. a gift worth 1.137 million euros!
How is this going to be done; Quite simply because Lance, with a direct ticket to the groups of the competition from the French league, is the only sure team, which is below AEK in the 10-year UEFA rating, which also determines the largest part of the distribution of the money, which was previously shared whole as a market pool!
In their last participation in the groups in 2018-19, AEK was the bottom group of 32 in terms of 10-year rate and had collected a single share from this category amounting to €1.137 million. The 31st team had collected 1.137 X 2, the 30th 1.137 X 3 and so on up to the €36.38 million guaranteed for the first team of the 10-year rate, which again this year will be Real Madrid.
With the French Lance under it, AEK will secure together with the qualification over Antwerp 2.274 million euros from this category, a double share compared to 2018, money which is added to the guaranteed 15.64 million euros, an amount it receives each team in the groups.
Its share will triple if Panathinaikos manages to eliminate Braga tomorrow, quadruple if Maccabi Haifa eliminates Young Boys or even fivefold if, against the odds, Rakov from Poland eliminates Copenhagen. And this is because all three of these teams, who claim one of the six remaining tickets, are behind AEK in a 10-year coefficient.
In other words, the €1.137 million in 2018 for AEK from the “rate money” category, is given €2.274 in 2023, if they succeed against Antwerp, and the highest they can reach, depending on the final development of the playoffs including the teams that will qualify, it is 5.685 million euros!
To understand the differences, if Olympiacos were in the 32 of this year’s Champions League, their respective guaranteed share from this category would be 12.5 million euros because they would be in 21st place among the 32 teams in terms of decade coefficient.
Another example? With two French teams… Paris Saint-Germain from this category has a guaranteed income of 29.56 million euros and the second of the French league Lance… 1,137 (like AEK in 2018) with the distribution criterion being the competitive presence in the European events in the last 10 years!
This is the reason why there is no big impact on the total revenues of AEK or Panathinaikos from the market pool if there will be a second Greek team in the groups. At least not as in the past, since the money from this category has been divided into 65% for the 10-year group rate and 35% in the… famous market pool.
This pool has now been reduced to close to €300m for all teams (€600m is shared according to the teams’ presence in Europe over the last decade) and the Greek share, which is not standard (also dependent on competitive performance of the teams in the current tournament) will be shared 55-45 between AEK (because they are champions) and Panathinaikos, if both our teams manage to qualify for the 32 of the groups.
AEK collected close to 3 million euros from the market pool in its last participation in the 2018-19 period, when it had finished the group without a point.
