UEFA had a fund of 200 million euros
($217.5 million) to pay clubs a daily rate per player involved in the Euro 2020
tournament and qualifying, plus Nations League games since 2018.
The list of payments was announced one day
after UEFA approved an increased total of 240 million euros ($261 million) for
clubs whose players are called up to national teams through the Euro 2024
tournament in Germany.
English clubs collectively earned 47
million euros ($51.1 million) — almost one-quarter of the total amount
allocated for UEFA national team games from 2018-21. A total of 18 different
English clubs each earned more than 1 million euros ($1.1 million), with
Chelsea getting the most.
Chelsea had players involved to the end of
Euro 2020. Jorginho and Emerson Palmieri were in the Italy team that beat
England in the final. Mason Mount, Reese James and Ben Chilwell were on the
losing side.
Manchester City was next highest earner
with 4.5 million euros ($4.9 million). Juventus got more than 3.8 million euros
($4.1 million).
Atalanta, with more than 2.9 million euros
($3.15 million), ranked higher than Barcelona. After Ukraine reached the
quarterfinals, Dynamo Kyiv got more than 2.5 million euros ($2.7 million).
UEFA said 697 clubs from its 55 member
federations received payments.
Italian clubs collectively got 27.5 million
($29.9 million), slightly less than their German counterparts. Clubs in Denmark
got less than 2.7 million euros ($2.9 million) despite the national team
reaching the Euro 2020 semifinals.
UEFA said it allocated 140 million euros
($152 million) to be shared by clubs releasing players for the Euro 2024
tournament. The other 100 million euros ($109 million) will be distributed according
to call-ups for two editions of the Nations League and Euro 2024 qualifying
games.
