UEFA will distribute €31.5 million ($35.7 million) to clubs who released players for the 2024-25 Nations League season, the governing body said on Tuesday.
The payment is the first under the current UEFA Club Benefits Programme cycle, which is part of a memorandum of understanding between UEFA and European Football Clubs (EFC), which represents over 800 clubs.
“The payments form part of the €104 million allocated to clubs releasing players for the 2024-25 and 2026-27 UEFA Nations League and the qualifying competition for UEFA Euro 2028,” UEFA said.
Under the programme, clubs receive €3,845 for each eligible player appearance on a match sheet for Nations League and European Qualifiers fixtures. For Euro 2028, it will be a per-player, per-day compensation.
The programme benefits 611 clubs across all UEFA member associations, including several amateur clubs. German club RB Leipzig will receive the highest total compensation, approximately €353,000 for releasing 16 players.
