Uefa Doubles Prize Money For Women’s Euro 2022

UEFA has doubled the prize money available to teams for the women’s European Championship in 2022.

The UEFA Executive Committee met yesterday in Moldova and approved a substantial increase in the amount distributed to the participating teams, along with a new distribution model, ahead of the start of the highly anticipated UEFA Women’s European Championship final tournament in England in summer 2022.

UEFA has made the change as part of its women’s football strategy, Time For Action, intended to ensure more money is distributed across the women’s game.

The 16 qualified teams will now share a total of €16 million, double the amount of the total prize money of €8 million distributed at UEFA Women’s Euro 2017 in the Netherlands.

In addition, the UEFA Executive Committee approved the introduction of a club benefits programme, for the first time, making available a significant total amount of €4.5 million to reward European clubs releasing players for the UEFA Women’s Euro final tournament for their contribution to the success of the event.

The tournament kicks off on 6 July 2022, with the first game being held at Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United.
