- 32 Clubs To Get €12m Each
Europe’s football body, UEFA, on Friday announced enhanced earnings due to clubs participating in the Champions League and EUROPA Cup for the 2015-18 seasons.
UEFA, in a statement on its website, stated that the amounts available to the clubs have tremendously increased from the 2012-15 cycle.
According to UEFA, clubs taking part in the UEFA Champions League will share €1.257b per season, with €1.207bn available to the clubs from the group stage onwards.
“The amount of €1.207bn available to the clubs from the group stage onwards will be split as usual between fixed amounts and market pool. However the market pool will be reduced from 45% to 40% of the total and fixed amounts increased accordingly to 60%.”
Of this amount, 724.4m is fixed for the 32 clubs involved in the group stage and each will receive €12m.
“On top of this, there will be performance bonuses: €1.5m for every win and €500k for every draw in the group stage.
“The teams playing in the round of 16 will receive €5.5m each, the quarter-finalists €6m each and the semi-finalists €7m each. The UEFA Champions League winners will receive €15m and the runners-up €10.5m, inclusive of their ticketing revenue share.
“A club could receive, at best, €54.5m, not counting the play-offs and the market pool share,” UEFA stated.
However, clubs that win play-offs will receive €2m and €3m to the clubs that crashed out.
For the UEFA Europa League, available fund every season for from the group stage onwards is €381m in the 2015-18 cycle, compared to €233m in the 2012-15 cycle, thus representing a very substantial increase of around 65%.
This amount will be distributed to participating clubs on a 60:40 basis between fixed amounts and market pool as applied already in the 2012-15 cycle.
Each of the 48 clubs involved in the group stage will receive a group stage allocation of €2.4m.
On top of this, there will be performance bonuses: €360k for every win and €120k for every draw in the group stage. The winners of the groups will receive a qualification bonus of €500k and the runners-up of €250k.
The teams playing in the round of 32 will receive €500k each; the teams playing in the round of 16 will receive €750k each, the quarter-finalists €1m each and the semi-finalists €1.5m each. The UEFA Europa League winners will receive €6.5m and the runners-up €3.5m, inclusive of their ticketing revenue share.
