This is UEFA’s territorial unity programme

But the UEFA It also has a solidarity mechanism set up for the transfer of its players to tournaments under its protection. As we exclusively published in MD in June 2022, the highest European organization plans to distribute up to a total of 240 million for the League of Nations and Euro Cup this coming summer in Germany. Among them, an amount of 100 million corresponds to the participation in the Nations League that just ended last summer and where Spain was proclaimed champion and also for the footballers who are released in the current qualifying phase of the Euro. The other 140 responded to the final phase of the European Cup scheduled for summer 2024.

• Only players who appear in the match report are taken into account (maximum 23 players per team).

• Payments are only made to clubs belonging to a UEFA member association.

• Benefits cannot be assigned for players without a club.

Furthermore, the beneficiary club is always where the player is registered at the time the match is played. The rate per match in the case of the Nations League is 3,659 euros. They are not included in this distribution of UEFA other friendly matches that teams can play between 2020-2024 in parallel League of Nations.

And then there is another 140 million for the dispute in the final stage of Eurocopfrom next summer of 2024.

A club’s participation will be calculated taking into account these variables:

1. The number of players selected for a national team that has qualified for UEFA EURO 2024;

2. The number of days each player is in the final tournament, starting ten days before his national team’s first match and ending the day after the national team’s last match in the final tournament
