The UEFA EURO 2024 club benefits programme has allocated €233 million to 901 clubs from all 55 European national football associations. This programme compensates clubs for releasing players to UEFA national team competitions, including the 2020/21 and 2022/23 Nations League, European Qualifiers, and the EURO 2024 final tournament.
This amount represents an increase of €33 million compared to the previous cycle ending with UEFA EURO 2020, and a record number of clubs received payments. The scheme has benefited elite as well as smaller clubs, including some from lower divisions, such as England's Yorkshire Amateur.
UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin stated that the scheme recognises the commitment of clubs of all sizes in developing players for national team competitions. European Club Association (ECA) Chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi highlighted the strong collaboration between UEFA and the ECA as key to the programme's success, supporting the growth and development of European football.
For the 2024–2028 cycle linked to UEFA EURO 2028, €240 million will be distributed in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between UEFA and the ECA. An additional €7 million remains to be distributed from the previous club benefits cycle.
