The Hammers would receive a Coefficient ranking bonus which would be around €150,000 (£127,000)
With a possible eight home games in the Europa Conference League, another £20m is possible in gate money if the London stadium sells out.
Finalists receive 25% of the gate money each with the remaining 50% going to the organisers.

Looking forward to the final in Prague. That’s going to be real nice for the Czech boys.
