JAKARTA - The final match to determine the Coppa Italia title for 2021/2022 will present a hot duel between Juventus and Inter Milan at the Olimpico stadium on Thursday, May 12 in the early hours of WIB. Ahead of the match, the tickets provided by the committee for the spectators of the two teams had actually been sold out.

Quoted from Italian Football, Wednesday, before the match starts the organizers will announce the exact revenue from all tickets sold. Ahead of the announcement there was speculation that the total amount would exceed 5 million euros. That number will be a new record high for this competition's revenue.

The same source revealed that all tickets sold will bring about 68,000 spectators at the stadium. The presence of the audience will also increase revenue from other aspects such as food and beverage sales.

Not only will it benefit the organizers. This final match will obviously also benefit the winning team. Because the winner will take home the prize money of 4.5 million euros or Rp. 68.9 billion, while the losing club will still pocket 2 million euros or Rp. 30.6 billion.

The runner-up from this match will also have the opportunity to appear in the Italian Super Cup next season. The competition will also award a prize of around 3 million euros or Rp45.9 billion for the winner.

Like the Coppa Italia final in recent years, tonight's match will also feature musicians performing the Italian national anthem before kick-off. In this edition, the organizers present Arisa, the singer who won the Sanremo Music Festival in 2014 as well as the judge of the Italian version of The X Factor.

This match will be the third Coppa Italia final between I Bianconeri and I Nerazzurri. On the previous two occasions, the Old Lady had always managed to subdue La Beneamata.

However, if you look at the record of the last meeting of the two teams in all matches, Juventus actually lost 1-2 to Inter in the Italian Super Cup and also gave up 0-1 in the Italian League competition.
