    WHAT HAPPENED

    For the first time in the history of the Euros, all players participating in the tournament will receive a percentage of the prize money. UEFA announced that the prize money for the Women's Euro 2025 is 41 million euros, which is a drastic 156% increase from the 2022 Euros. Players will be rewarded between 30-40%.

    For players who are released for the tournament, clubs will be compensated six million euros. Here's money breakdown:

    All 16 teams get 1.8 million euros for qualifying (70% of prize money), 30% of the remaining money will be used for "performance bonuses" throughout the group and knockout stages and 5.1 million euros is the maximum money the 2025 winning team could earn - if they also get three points in each of their three group stages.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    At the 2022 Women's Euro, each team received 600,000 euros as a fixed participation fee. The winning team's total was just over 2 million euros. For 2025, each national association that is participating in the tournament is required to allocate between 30% and 40% of the total earned, to its players. While it's between 30% and 40%, it's "recommended" that players receive 35% to 40%.

    The 2023 Women's World Cup marked the first time players were compensated a percentage of the prize money.
