More Money For Euro 2008 Hopefuls


UEFA announced over the weekend that they’re boosting the prize money pool for Euro 2008 to €184m, up €55m from the €129 distributed amongst the finalists in Portugal in 2004. Lord knows the FAI could have done with the money.

How The Money Breaks Down

  • €7.5m per team for gaining entry into the competition
  • €1m per team for a win in the group stage
  • €500k per team for a draw in the group stage
  • €2m per team for reaching the quarter finals
  • €3m per team for reaching the semi finals
  • €4.5m for the runner up
  • €7.5m for the winners of Euro 2008

If the winner goes through the group stage undefeated, they will pocket a cool €23m for their efforts throughout June.
