The Reds sealed their spot in the UEFA Conference League groups on Thursday night, after battling RFS to a decisive away draw in Latvia, following last week’s win at Ta’ Qali’s National Stadium.

This result means Ħamrun are set to cash in on UEFA’s guaranteed base payment of just over €3 million (€3.17m to be exact) for qualifying. And that’s only the start. Each win in the groups is worth another €400,000, while a draw bags €133,000.

More cash is also up for grabs for finishing higher in the group or making it into the knockouts, which could push the Spartans’ earnings even further into the millions.

Beyond the numbers, this is a massive moment for the club. The financial boost, combined with match-day revenue and the exposure of European football, promises to transform Ħamrun Spartans both on and off the pitch.

Will this estimated €3M jackpot spark a new era for the Spartans?
