Maccabi Tel Aviv was eliminated on Thursday evening in the Conference League playoff round by Swiss club Lugano, ending their European campaign for the first time since the 2022/23 season. As a result, the Israeli club will not participate in any European competition this season. Despite the early exit, Maccabi Tel Aviv still earned a total of 1.28 million euros from their European journey this summer, which includes a 750,000-euro bonus awarded to all teams eliminated in the playoff round. However, had they advanced to the Conference League group stage, the club would have earned significantly more, approximately 3.7 million euros for the entire qualifying campaign, missing out on about 2.42 million euros in potential revenue. This marks a notable break for the reigning Israeli State Cup holders, who had qualified for European tournaments in three consecutive seasons and five of the last six seasons prior to this year.
