The 14th edition of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 will be hosted by Switzerland in July this year. Teams like Poland and Wales will make their first appearance in major tournaments. With women’s football evolving over the recent years, it is attracting more viewers. €41 million is the total prize money for UEFA Women’s Euro 2025. It has increased by 156%, compared to the last edition.
The program includes record prize money associated with national associations, as well as allocations for players, which is the first time in a Women’s EURO that players will receive a share of proceeds for their performances. This new structure on player allocation of proceeds and the club benefits is a result of UEFA’s strong cooperation on this topic with FIFPRO Europe and the European Club Association (ECA).

The total winning amount is €41 million. An increase of 156% from last time. UEFA will pay €1.8 million to each participating national team. The winner of the tournament will earn up to €5.1 million. Around 30% to 40% of the winning amount will be distributed among the players by the national association. The players will get this amount for the first time.
UEFA will also benefit the European clubs. A total of €6 million will be earned by the clubs for releasing the players, which represents a 33% increase in total payments in previous tournaments in 2022.
In recent years, UEFA has been transparent and has increased the money factor for the national sides as well as the clubs. Especially, with more matches and new competitions organised, the revenue generated has also reached the sky.
Generally, for fans, it might look exciting, but the players have to play a lot of games. After the club season, almost every year, there is a national tournament. The workload of the players is not something people are talking about. Without injuries, it is practically impossible to play 65-70 matches per season.
