Hull to play the most expensive game in the world: Here’s how much money is at stake

The goals were scored by Mohamed Belloumi and Joe Gelhardt.

In the play-off final, Hull City Tigers will play at Wembley on May 23 against the winner of the match between Middlesbrough and Southampton, who will play the return match tonight at 21:00. Their first match also ended 0:0, and the return match is played in Southampton.

The Premier League play-off final is also known as “the most expensive game in the world”. Whoever wins it will collect a total of around £200 million. The award is given by the English Football Association, and it is so high because of the new television rights contract, which was signed two years ago.

Hull City have been in financial trouble since the start of the season. When Jakirović arrived at the club, the aforementioned Association imposed a fine for poor financial performance. As a result, Hull received a transfer ban for three transfer windows. However, with that difficult circumstance, they managed to win Wembley.
