Leeds United may profit from the Super Bowl this weekend as the San Francisco 49ers prepare to take on the Kansas City Chiefs.
The approaching Super Bowl may have an impact on Leeds United.
The San Francisco 49ers will face the Kansas City Chiefs, the defending champs, on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada. Leeds fans may have been keeping an eye on the 49ers’ good season since 49ers Enterprises took over the Whites last June.
Denise DeBartolo York owns Leeds United and the NFL franchise, which is trying to win their sixth Super Bowl and first in 30 years. A sporting event with a large global audience, it will be a pivotal weekend for the 49ers, with potential consequences for Leeds.
What is the Super Bowl prize purse?
The income shares for the NFL’s championship game differ from association football. Instead of the winning team receiving a lump payment, the reward money is distributed among the players.
It implies that if the 49ers win, each player will receive $164,000. Meanwhile, the losing team will receive $89k for their efforts.
What the Super Bowl might mean for Leeds United
While 49ers Enterprises will not immediately receive prize money for their franchise’s participation in the Super Bowl, the team can expect significant economic rewards if its players win the championship game.
As Chiefs president Mark Donovan said, a Super Bowl triumph brings global reputation, which may spill over to Leeds if the 49ers win this weekend. “We know that the franchise and the stadium are key economic drivers for Kansas City, Jackson County and the State of Missouri and are excited that our community is realising nearly $1 billion annual activity through the franchise,” added Donovan.
“As we prepare for another Super Bowl, we know the eyes of the world will continue to be on Kansas City and we are proud to represent our hometown on the sport’s largest stage.”
A Super Bowl triumph would show that 49ers Enterprises is capable of supervising sporting success, with Daniel Farke’s Leeds side also vying for an immediate return to the Premier League. The 49ers have proved their ability to scout and develop athletes, as seen by quarterback Brock Purdy, who was the final pick in the 2022 selection, and similar tactics might be used at Leeds as part of the ownership’s network.
