Prize Money for the UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 has been Doubled

Before the start of the highly anticipated UEFA Women’s European Championship final tournament in England in summer 2022, the UEFA Executive Committee met yesterday in Chişinău, Moldova, and approved a significant increase in the amount distributed to the participating teams, as well as a new distribution model.

The 16 qualified squads will be awarded a total of €16 million, which is more than double the total prize money awarded at the UEFA Women’s Euro 2017 in the Netherlands, which was €8 million. For the group stage, the financial distribution will include enhanced guaranteed amounts as well as performance-based bonuses.

In addition, the UEFA Executive Committee authorized the first-ever club benefits scheme, allocating a large sum of €4.5 million to reward European teams that release players for the UEFA Women’s Euro final tournament for their commitment to the event’s success.

Increased financial distributions and the implementation of a club benefits program are significant strategic measures of UEFA’s Women’s Football Strategy – TimeForAction, guaranteeing that the women’s game receives more money than ever before.

The following are the most significant changes:

  • All non-top five associations have had their shares increased, while the top five associations have had their shares capped (NB: the top five associations are England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France).
  • The margin between associations with and without clubs in the UEFA Champions League group stage has narrowed.
  • Market shares are given less weight, and distribution is based on fair and recognisable sporting criteria.

The 4% solidarity for non-participating clubs (€140 million based on a predicted aggregate revenue of €3.5 billion) will be augmented by 30% of revenue from club competitions exceeding €3.5 billion, up to a maximum of €35 million.

As a result, a total of €175 million will be available from competition earnings for non-participating clubs, up from €130 million in the 2018-21 cycle, and the portion earmarked for non-top five associations will rise to €132.5 million (an increase of more than 60% over the previous plan).
