Advancing to the second phase sweetens the deal for Series A teams to R$1.785 million, nudges Series B teams up to R$1.47 million, and elevates other clubs to R$945 thousand.
As teams go further, the stakes rise. Reaching the third phase promises R$2.205 million. Breaking into the round of 16 elevates the prize to R$3.465 million. Quarter-finalists will see R$4.515 million. The semifinals double the ante with R$9.45 million. The runner-up stands to gain a substantial R$31.5 million, while the champion basks in the glory of a whopping R$73.5 million.
