UEFA announces about €31.5m in Nations League club payments
The payments cover player release for the 2024/25 competition under the Club Benefits Programme.
UEFA says it will distribute approximately €31.5 million this week to clubs that released players for the 2024/25 Nations League. The announcement is part of the current Club Benefits Programme cycle.
The September 29 announcement says the programme benefits 611 clubs across UEFA member associations, including amateur clubs. The payment is the first under that cycle and forms part of a €104 million allocation for the 2024/25 and 2026/27 Nations League and the EURO 2028 qualifying competition.
UEFA lists €3,845 for each eligible player appearance on a national-team match sheet in Nations League and European Qualifiers fixtures. It separately describes a per-player, per-day mechanism for the EURO 2028 final tournament. Those are different bases for the programme's payments.
This is an announced distribution, not a claim that ScoreZaap has inspected every club's bank receipt. The amount does not describe ticket revenue or a reward for winning a match. This original summary credits UEFA's notice and keeps the programme facts separate from current football scores.
