LAUSANNE, Switzerland – The prize money for the 2025 Women’s European Championship is set to see a remarkable increase, with a total of 41 million euros (approximately $43 million) being distributed among the 16 participating teams.
Each national federation will be guaranteed a minimum of 1.8 million euros (around $1.9 million) for their participation in the tournament hosted by Switzerland, with a stipulation that at least 30% of this amount must be allocated to the players. This decision was made by UEFA’s executive committee on Monday.

The winning team could receive up to 5.1 million euros as part of the prize distribution. Additionally, clubs that will have players participating in the tournament will be entitled to share a fund of 6 million euros (approximately $6.3 million), which translates to a daily compensation rate of 657 euros (around $690) per player. This marks a significant increase of 33% compared to the previous Women’s Euros edition.

For context, the men’s Euro 2024 featured a total prize fund of 331 million euros (about $347 million), generated from total revenues nearing 2.4 billion euros (approximately $2.5 billion). Each of the 24 teams that competed in this tournament received at least 9.25 million euros, with Spain, the champion, taking home 28.25 million euros.

In other UEFA-related announcements, the men’s Nations League Final Four, scheduled for next June, will take place in the country of the winner of the quarterfinal match between Italy and Germany. Italy is set to host the tournament in Turin, while Germany has chosen Munich and Stuttgart as its venues.

Italy has also been selected to host the UEFA Super Cup in 2025, taking place on August 13 at the stadium of Udinese, featuring the winners of the Champions League and the Europa League.

UEFA unveiled plans for a new second-tier club competition that is expected to debut next season, to be named the Women’s Europa Cup.
