ASUNCION (Reuters) - The prize pot for the Copa Libertadores will more than double next year, the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) said on Monday, but the continental championship will still trail a long way behind the European Champions League.
Clubs competing in South America's premier club competition will share $161.9 million in 2019, up 56 percent from $103.85m this year, with the champions expected to bank at least $20.4 million (16.16 million pounds), CONMEBOL president Alejandro Dominguez said.
