Due to the coefficient rankings, La Liga earned an extra Champions League spot last season to the benefit of Villarreal. They will be in the mix for the largest ever pot of prize money in football, as per Marca<\/a>. UEFA have been under pressure to respond to increased demands for more money to be shared amongst the European elite in recent years following the attempted move to a Superleague, and the advent of the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n The total pot of prize money increased by 21% last year with the new format, some \u20ac400m. This year will see a much more modest rise, with the total pot increasing by \u20ac43m to \u20ac2.47b in total. There is also good news for Real Betis and Celta Vigo in the Europa League, where the \u20ac465m pot has risen to \u20ac565m, while Rayo Vallecano will be hoping to earn their share of the \u20ac285m n the Conference League, up from \u20ac235m.<\/p>\n Atl\u00e9tico Madrid will face two rivals from each pot.<\/p>\n The draw is set to take place tomorrow. pic.twitter.com\/xzWWXDeTvF<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Atletico Universe (@atletiuniverse) August 27, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Last season Paris Saint-Germain earned the most money from the total, bringing in \u20ac118.7m in total. Performance-related bonuses adhere to a strict structure, with \u20ac2.1m awarded for a win, and \u20ac700k for a draw. Those who qualify for the knockout rounds receive a bonus ranging from \u20ac1.7m (16th if they win their play-off) to \u20ac12m (1st). Reaching the round of 16 adds another \u20ac11m to your bonuses, which increases to \u20ac12.5m, \u20ac15m, \u20ac18.5m and right up to \u20ac25m for the winners as a team progresses through each round.<\/p>\n The performance bonuses represent 37.5% of the total (\u20ac926.2m), while participation on its own accounts for 27.5% (679.2m, which evens out as \u20ac18.6m per team). The third area of financial rewards is the \u2018base value\u2019, which accounts for \u20ac864.5m (35%), This has replaced the \u2018market share\u2019 function, and is based on a slightly more complicated system.<\/p>\n It appears to be based on a combination of the UEFA coefficient, an independent coefficient based on average position over the last two tournaments, and ranked from 1 through 36 amongst all of the teams, and the contribution of their national broadcasters to the pot.<\/p>\n FIFA were content to boast of the \u20ac1b prize money pot, divided by the 32 teams involved \u2013 which Marca point out ended up being \u20ac929m. However the Champions League remains king, dividing the \u20ac2.47b between the 36 teams. However the difference for the biggest sides is less augmented, with Atletico Madrid (\u20ac19.7m) and Real Madrid (\u20ac32.8m) received higher fixed fees for their participation.<\/p>\n Barcelona has formally requested La Liga to be able to play the Bar\u00e7a \u2013 Valencia game on September 14th at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. At this moment, La Liga is inspecting the stadium. The VAR system needs to be installed. @QueThiJugues<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 barcacentre (@barcacentre) August 27, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The champion of the Club World Cup, in this case Chelsea, was set for a prize of \u20ac110.9m, while the Champions Leage winner will receive between \u20ac142.7m and \u20ac154.7m depending on their base value. That will require the winners to play an extra 10 matches to receive that bump too.<\/p>\n UEFA intend to maintain this method of dividing the prize for this season and next season, when their current TV rights deal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Champions League to increase prize money for clubs for second season running<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Champions League draw will take place at 18:00 CEST today, with five La Liga clubs eagerly awaiting their eight opponents for the…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2166,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[13],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2164"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2164"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2168,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2164\/revisions\/2168"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.piquant-burotic.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
